My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head
The brakes are kind of a long story...
I bought my rims thinking they would fit with the 11.75" rotors I already have on the car. They don't. :violent1: The hub bore is too small, and I don't want to machine this particular set as there isn't a ton of material if I take it all the way out to fit over the center register of the 11.75's. Unfortunately, I also bought a set of rims that have the absolute minimum backspacing I need to run 275's.
So, long story short, I'm looking at a set of 6 piston Wilwoods, and since the 14" rotors are only $150 more than the 12.88's I'm looking at getting the 140-10816 kit. I already have the B body drum spindles for that kit anyway, and it's the only kit I've found so far that doesn't increase the track width any at all, the 10816 has a 0 offset change. And that's for a set of B body drum spindles, so I may actually gain a little space on the fender.
