I gave away all my drum stuff to a Mopar buddy who hooks me up with stuff occasionally. I could I guess get them back, but I am kind of stubborn, and will get it to work excellent in time.

Thanks for the input that I don't need discs, they are already on the car.

I have a new master cylinder coming in, mine went teats up.

2k is a great price for any 71 Barracuda. I paid a heck of a lot more for my 71 BHG.

Is anyone out there having rear disc brake conversion remorse. The Cadillac Eldorado calipers are a major pain in the butt. The bleeders are not located on the top, the adjustment for the parking brake is very difficult. Kind of wished I had stayed with rear drums.

this help?

Not a measurement but a good picture for reference.

Thanks for all the good words. I have a short list of things I need to fix/complete. Brakes are the primary issue I am having. Those GM rear calipers are a pain to get adjusted and bled properly. Waiting on a tool to make sure my push rod to the master cylinder is adjusted correctly as well...

Attended my first show with my BHG Cuda clone. Car showed really well and had tons of compliments. Will be putting in a new windshield shortly, hence no trim installed around the opening. Otherwise, car is pretty much done.

I have seen bent steering wheels...

I believe the crush can was designed to "crush" in a heavy impact crash, and yes, the steering shaft is a two piece design that would slide together in a crash as well. Both work together, IMO.

My Grant tough wheel bolted right in.

If we could deduct the expense of our time, for the DIYers, we would never make money.
