| Post subject: | SBP Rotors / Conversion |
Thoughts on this Disc Brake Conversion Idea: Car is a stock 1968 Barracuda with manual drums and a 7.25 SBP- 14 stock wheels While I have a LBP 7.25 to swap, I would prefer NOT to rip apart the rear--its rust free and perfect. Came across this... Brake Rotor https://www.manciniracing.com/mbmstsmbofrp.html MDM Brakes. This is obviously not an OE replacement rotor that can be bought at normal parts store. This seems to be a 5x4 rotor NOT for the early 2 piston setup. MBM markets the conversion spindles they sell as exact Mopar replicas---so my thoughts/hope are these would work with OE Mopar spindles. Calls for the same A2/A17 wheel bearings Upper Control Arm: https://www.manciniracing.com/ma1alabajo.html This uses the later style Large Ball joint Spindle: Stock Mopar Disc Brake Spindle from a 74 Duster (Large Ball Joint) I would then use the K781/K783 Standard Large Ball Join---Calipers, Pads, Dust Shields, Caliper Brackets would all be Mopar OE Master Cylinder is a question as well. Could I use the 73 manual disc/drum unit or thought on a power setup? Prop valve...? I assume I would need the disc/drum prop valve? Any thoughts on this? If that rotor works, it would seem to yield the 73--Later style 5x4 disc setup that Mopar never made. Keeping in mind that you have a non-stock rotor Would it be advisable/necessary to switch to the 73-later Tie Rods as well? Or this this just nonsense—should I swap out the LBP 7.25 that is in my garage and be done...? Thoughts…? Thanks |
