| Rustyhope disc brake kits are priced at $175 for Dodge Truck and Mopar cars with four hole spindles, and for Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, and DeSoto cars with three hole spindles. Shop labor to drill and tap your spindles is $100. These prices include shipping to lower 48 addresses. Pricing to Canada is higher at $215 for disc kits and $125 for the shop work, shipping included. Shipping to other parts of the planet is available, please email me for pricing at olddaddy@rustyhope.com.
The standard kits fit a variety of years, makes, and models of Mopar vehicles. Virtually all Dodge/Plymouth trucks and Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, and DeSoto cars, mid- 30s to late 50s can be converted to disc brakes using one of my kits. NOTE: The standard kits will only fit spindles with a 1.250 or 1.375 OD where the inner bearing fits and a .750 OD where the outer bearing fits.
UPDATE: I now offer disc brake kits for early 30s Mopar cars with 1.189 diameter four hole spindles. The kits are $300 which includes the conversion kit and specially machined spacer/sleeves to up-size the spindle to currently available bearing sizes.
All kits include caliper brackets, spacers, hardware, parts list and instructions. You will also need rotors, calipers, pads, bearings, seals, nuts, brake hoses, banjo bolts, and cotter pins. The necessary parts are commonly available nationwide at a variety of parts stores including Napa, Autozone, Advance/Discount, Riley, Pep Boys as well as many others. The rotors on my kits are a Mopar item with a 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern. The calipers are GM, and the seals, bearings etc. are all off the shelf standard parts. The necessary parts can be purchased for as little as $200 to as much as $300 depending on your location and the parts source you choose.
The conversion requires you to be able to drill and tap two or three mounting holes on each spindle to 5/8"-18 fine thread depending on which vehicle you are converting. Trucks and early Cars have two holes, and later cars have three. You will also need to drill out the holes in your steering arms to 11/16" which is clearance size for a 5/8" bolt. I can do this work for you as stated above for $100 in the US, and $125 to Canada.
At left are typical Mopar car spindles, (3 holes) and Dodge truck and Early Mopar Car spindles (4 hole) Look carefully at the pictures and measure your spindle OD before ordering a kit. As noted above: My standard kits will only fit spindles with 1.250 or 1.375 OD where the inner bearing fits and a .750 OD where the outer bearing fits. (1.189 diameter spindles can be converted at an extra cost of $125).
