Re: A '54 named Busty
You’re embarrassing Texas. And probably Arizona too.

Re: A '54 named Busty
the record setting heat (FYI: Death Valley hit 130° F) is giving me some time to research the brake parts, looks like they sell front brake backing plates ($45/pair), I think I need to get the new ones as they appear to have incorporated rubber O-rings which have perished on mine

Re: A '54 named Busty
I’m glad you found a place to hide from the heat in your wiring room.
Those are just dust shields correct? Is there any “real” reason to run them? I’ve removed several damaged (bent, rusted, etc) ones in the past and never noticed any difference in braking performance or longevity. Of course the vehicles were considerably faster after shedding the extra weight.

Re: A '54 named Busty
Quote:
the ones on the second gen Camaros have rubber pressed into them so the rubber prevents dust, dirt, and debris from entering the back bearing on the spindle, and again I have seen rotors with the rubber covers on them that do the same, but some of the newer replacement ones do not come with the rubber on the rotors leaving the bearings exposed dirt + water = bad for the bearings Last edited by Gregski; 08-17-2020 at 12:51 PM. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
None of the ones I’ve messed with had any rubber just the dust shield that fits behind the unit bearings. I’ve not taken the rotors/bearings apart on my Dana 60 so I don’t know yet if they have any rubber seals to compliment the rear axle seals.
Are you saying those function as a primary defense to keep water and dust away from the inner axle/spindle seal?

Re: A '54 named Busty
I'll give you credit for the temp, but 55% humidity is dry around here. With the AC running full speed we get down to that inside.

Re: A '54 named Busty
the forbidden fruit
these are the rubber bits Rock Auto wouldn't send to California from Manufacturer A but sent the ones by Manufacturer B (I love it when the gobermint gets involved, things just work so much more efficiently) |

Re: A '54 named Busty
Happy birthday, Thread. That poor cone looks exhausted. What paint did you use on the A-Arms, they look nice. It appears that either your truck or the donor Camaro got set down on those backing plates and induced those flat spots.
