Just a little bit of time to make a little bitty part. It all ends up being great dividends at the end. These here small parts are the small support brackets used to hold the bottom edge of the window tracks inside the door shells.
They now get finished welding the corners where I had to slit to make the bends and sanding.

Installed some new lighter weight parts on my Duster over the last week. The Wilwoods are pretty 'real world' parts, tons of people use 'em and they are really light. Definitely worth the cost, especially if you still have some sort of OE type brakes on. Finally installed my Fenton Gyros too. I've had them for years sitting on the shelf, stoked I am finally putting them to use. Got them off Ebay at least 10 years ago, not a 'real world' purchase but compared to some of the wheels out there now, they were a a bargain. I really like the recent M/T 5 spokes but they are ridiculously expensive. In any event, the Wilwood 10" drum spindle brakes (#140-11023) saved 8-10 lbs per side going from my old SSBC aluminum calipers with otherwise stock components. I couldn't get a real accurate measurement since I removed the old stuff as a unit but the Wilwoods were just put on the scale in pieces before assembly. The SSBC stuff was 34 lbs. total. Best as I could tell, the Wilwoods were 24-26 lbs. Old. New. The Fentons saved about a pound over the Centerlines at 29lbs. each with tires. Maybe it's the slots... Though I did not weigh them, these old school Cragar front runners with the Stahl tires are the lightest. I put 'em on just to see what they look like. Way too tall for my Duster, couldn't even get them on without turning the wheel in. Would look killer on a B or E body though. Back on the wall they go.

Man, I thought those vintage Cragars would be door weights. It must be the tires that give 'em some lift. That light Wilwood set up looks good and proper. I'm happy with the brakes so far. The pedal feels pretty good, hope they live up to expectations at speed. Those Stahl tires are like balloons. Still have 1970 air in them! The Cragars definitely weigh more than the aluminum slots or the Auto Drags.

The Cragars definitely weigh more than the aluminum slots or the Auto Drags. i bought some "green" 15x4 cragars at carlisle a few years just to blast and paint. when i weighed them, they were 20.5 lbs each ! so yes, they are kinda on the heavy side for what they are. the 15x4 1/2 fenton gyros i have weigh 12lb-15.4oz each with the stick on weights still attached.
