Thought I'd share my currant frustration.Double beadlock rims will NOT fit over a finned dana 60 drum There is a smoothie non finned drum but they want prices that are double on flea-bay.Will try to machine the drums down and make it work or I have to install discos sooner than planned If someone has a set lemmie know

In order to match my rear rims I had to get a Bead Lock rim with the option of a DBL,so I bought the DBL.I am not fast enough to NEED them.
Champion said my rear rims were "collector items"

Some of the wilwood brakes wont fit a 15 beadlocker either. Strange brakes are lighter, smaller, and won't get sticky like the wilwoods. athat is of course if you go aftermarket. D,,,which other brands fit??? I'll find out Tuesday if the lathe worked

I have installed more sets of Wilwood brakes than I can count and never had an issue with a single set. Have also used Strange, Mark Williams and Lambs with no problems. Aero-Space on the other hand.........well lets just say I wouldn't buy anything they make.
As far as clearing beadlocks. Some wheels clear, some don't, but it's not the caliper, it's the beadlock ring. I have never had a set of Champions, that would NOT clear the Wilwood 4 piston calipers. Close yes.......hit no
This day and time, no way anything resembling fast, should have drums on the rear. With the steady pressure brakes require to stop a race car in the shutdown from any decent speed, the drums fade QUICK. That means you are doing all your stopping on the front brakes, that has the tiny tire. Bad plan.
Doesn't really matter what guys USED to do and it worked OK. Fact is, it really did NOT work well back then and still won't. They just managed to get by and not crash or run off a track

You will need to take a set of good shoes, no metal to metal contact on them to a comercial brake relining company, not a parts store, and have them use thier softest lining Make sure and tell them this is for a non street car also, maybe a show car
