Dust Shields for Disc Brake Conversions

[VANDAN]

Brother, you just sold a Helwig!

Now if there were only a universal dust shield, or something that would work with light modification. It's just a thin stamping!

I bought my kits from Right Stuff. You can look on their web site, they probably offer just the shields ?

None. BAER 4 wheel system here but then again they're on trailer queen. (didn't mean to build one, it just turned out that way). ~500 miles a year.

Where did you find your brake line clips for your differential cover? Thanks.

 

[Mopar Hunter]

They also recommend no shields. They say it helps with cooling

Baer told my friend the same for their front brake kit on his Charger.

We've heard the same. Makes sense if you're running "Auto-cross", or Road Courses...

Fabricated from a piece of stainless. 16 or 18 gauge I believe. I can't remember. Whatever I had laying around.

What car do you have that 55903 on? Summit says it won't fit my 72 Charger, use the 55904.

55903 -

55904 -

The 55904 looks like it might also be narrow enough in the center section to clear the splash shields.

It's on a 68 Runner. Source the parts that are correct for your car.

 

[JR_Charger]

Will do. Hard to believe they are so different! Yours must mount somewhere around the radiator!

 

[Runner 68]

No, it mounts to the K-Member and LCAs. There is a bump in it to go over the support piece from the K Member to the radiator support. I'll try to get a full pic from the front, on the car.
68-70s are different cars on several fronts from the next generation. Apples and oranges.

Love to see that mounted!

 

[Runner 68]

Love to see that mounted!

No different than any other 68-70 B Body, just larger diameter because it's tubular / hollow.
I thought this was a thread about disc brake dust shields?

Don't worry, we're doing "the weave!" We could come back to dust brake shields at any moment!

Your car looks great! I'm surprised to see how far forward that bar mounts, and how low it is. Why?

It does have 2" drop spindles on it but the bar is in the the stock location, nothing special.
