New to this forum, but I'm interested in a set of these. I've got a '69 with a 12-bolt, 6 lug rear- running factory steel rims. I've seen others suggest that you could simply purchase new axles that would be ready to go with the rotors required with this system- does anyone have the associated P/N's for those or know where to get them? Also, has anyone discovered what sort of E-brake cables are required with this setup?

**Captainfab** · 04-01-2015, 01:00 AM

You can get 6 lug replacement axles from any vendor that specializes in differentials such as Randy's Ring and Pinion, or Toms Differentials, or from Summit Racing. Before purchasing axles just to have the correct flange OD for the rotors, I would verify the dimension of the axles being purchased.

Hey captain happy Easter
The rotors for this install are 88-91 k1500 they show 2 kinds. 1" and 1.29" version I haven't seen anything on the f44 version.
Do you happen to have part numbers and info like you have in your other post? I just want to get the info right and I will be ordering ASAP.
Can you help me out?
Thanks Scott

**Captainfab** · 04-06-2015, 12:48 AM

I don't have that parts list here on my home computer. The part numbers are on the list of parts that come with the brackets.

Can you tell me the vehicle that the rotors are from?

**Captainfab** · 04-08-2015, 01:35 AM

The same application I state in post #1. They are for a '88-'91 K1500 without the F44 suspension.

Captainfab, kit came in yesterday. I will post pictures when installed. Thank you

**First c10** · 04-22-2015, 01:06 AM

This was mocked up. Looks good way better than any drum. Will be a while before I get to test them out.
Thanks captain fab.

Aww Come on!!!

**Captainfab** · 04-24-2015, 12:38 AM

He came up with the same idea I had when I designed these 6 lug brackets. It will be a little while.

Hey I am interested in this set up, I am just wondering what exactly needs to be machined down? Just the hub on the axle? Or can we open up the hole on the rotor? Thanks!

**Captainfab** · 05-12-2015, 11:15 PM

Yes the hub on the axle flange is much bigger than the rotor's center hole. You can certainly have the rotors machined, but I prefer to have the axles machined. That way if you have to replace a rotor, you don't have to have the machining done again.

Campbel45 · 05-16-2015, 10:31 PM

Hey Captain,

So I'm finally getting ready to put this kit on. However do you know how important it is for the axle register to fit tightly on the stock 15" steelies? I'm thinking that this centers the wheel to the axle but I'm not sure how important this is?

If I machine the axle register to 3.06 do the lug nuts center the wheel?

If I machine the rotor to the appropriate size then the wheel could still be centered.

Sorry if I'm thinking incorrectly

**Captainfab** · 05-16-2015, 11:10 PM

With factory wheels, the hubs and the lug nuts center the wheel. Most aftermarket wheels rely on the lug nuts alone to keep the wheel centered. I don't see a problem with machining the original hubs down to accommodate the rotors and using the lug nuts to center the wheels.
