Speedway Rear Disk Kit - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone use their emergency disc brake conversion kit (weld on)? I've had the kit for some time now and finally got around to install it, except the hats won't fit over the axle flanges. The rear end is a 83' 12 bolt truck 5 on 5. If memory serves me, Sactojim used these on his stunning ride. Should I turn the flanges down on the lathe? Any opinions?

I had to have my flanges turned when I did the rear disc thing. I have not used their E-brake kit so I do not know if its a good one or not. Speedway is not known for selling junk, so it should be a good kit. Good Luck.

Yes.....I remember being kinda bent when they wouldn't fit. Luckily the guy that built my rearend was able to turn them down a tad.
