Trying to find out what parts are now being repopped. The last update at least by pic dates is 2002, I emailed Ehrenberg about a possible update, but he might be a little busy with MA. I know AndyF is working on adapters for the 11.75 rotors. Is anyone repopping the pin style calipers and some of the other hard to find parts? -BD

I agree they arent that hard to find.I got a set of A knuckles for free from my buddy at one yard.The taller ones I have on now were 40 bucks for everything from the master to the complete disc setup.I prefer the tall knuckles over the A body ones.Been 10 years and no problems.They pop up for sale here at times also.Rocky

pin calipers adapters are harder to find, but the sliders come up fairly regularly.

I sell the same kit for much less.
The spindles are excellent quality (1 piece steel forgings).
I also make upper ball joint tapered adapters for pre '73 A-bodies.
The spindles are available seperately IIRC...
That seems to be the hangup these days for some.

Not when you can still find the parts in yards for under $100. I would also question the source of those spindles...On an A-body you'd still need upper control arms and lower ball joints. The last set I got for free....
So you can find parts yard stuff for under $100.Are you going to use old rotors,old seals,old bearings,old calipers,old brake pads,old brake hoses and rusted dust shields ? Seems common sense is a thing of the past.
Actually I have been known to find BRAND NEW rotors with NEW bearings, but I do clean the parts. I usually don't get calipers (unless it's a package deal) because the yard cost for calipers plus the caliper kits can be higher than rebuilt calipers plus core.
From your post it seems the idea of rebuilding something might be a thing of the past... Some of us are NOT made of money and will rebuild parts to allow money to be spent on other parts of the car.

I was unaware of The Speedway kit, that's pretty sweet, but when they say 11 inch rotors are they rounding up or down? I want to use the 11.75 rotors. Also are the calipers sliders or pin style? -BD
