    ‘71 340 Duster Front Drum to Disk with Factory 14” Rallye Wheels - Problems

    Yes, that’s my first option but Cass at DoctorDiff is not sure they will clear the caliper he has supplied. He is going to verify that.

    ‘71 340 Duster Front Drum to Disk with Factory 14” Rallye Wheels - Problems

    I have located (4) Wheel Vintiques 61 Series Chrysler Rallye Silver Wheels 61-565404. These are 15x6, 5x4 BP, 4.0 BS. Can anyone tell be what aftermarket trim rings fit this wheel without trimming? Most I have seen are specifically for 15x6.5/15x7 wheels and require trimming. Thanks!

    Does anyone know where I can get used 14x5.5 5x4 factory Rallye wheels? The 15x6 5x4 wheels are all on backorder.

    ‘71 340 Duster Front Drum to Disk with Factory 14” Rallye Wheels - Problems

    I was in error on the caliper brackets. These were included in the kilt and used. I installed these months ago ands simply forgot. Cass responded and said that these wheels are not factory, and that they have a different offset and taper. I am very surprised by this, but you guys are more...

    ‘71 340 Duster Front Drum to Disk with Factory 14” Rallye Wheels - Problems

    Thanks again for your patience, and the additional info. In reference to adjusting any play in the caliper brackets…..with the DoctorDiff kit there are no caliper brackets. The calipers mount directly to the spindle, and there is zero play. Pic attached.

    ‘71 340 Duster Front Drum to Disk with Factory 14” Rallye Wheels - Problems

    Thanks for the information. Measuring to the outside lip is 4-1/8” exactly. I purchased the car from the original owner. The braodcast sheet came with the car. I could be wrong, but I believe the codes verify a rallye wheel option. At an outside chance, I guess the original wheels could have...

    ‘71 340 Duster Front Drum to Disk with Factory 14” Rallye Wheels - Problems

    I am assuming that going to a 15” wheel would also solve this problem completly. Would these wheels from Wheel Vintiques have adequate clearance? 15x6 Chrysler Rallye Silver Small | 5x4" bolt | 4" backspace

    ‘71 340 Duster Front Drum to Disk with Factory 14” Rallye Wheels - Problems

    Using your suggestion to test adequate clearance with flat washers as spacers, it requires 3/8” of washers on each stud to completely clear the caliper. I am simply not comfortable with that thick of a wheel spacer. This kit is advertised to fit!

    ‘71 340 Duster Front Drum to Disk with Factory 14” Rallye Wheels - Problems

    Thank youn all for your relies! Much appreciated. The calipers are absolutely making contact with the wheels. I removed the retaining clips and verified that it is just the caliper. There is less than a 1/16” max where it is not in contact with the wheel.

    ‘71 340 Duster Manual Drum to Disc Front & Rear

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I was unclear on this. The pic shows the factory 14” wheels. The kits I have researched indicate that they are made to fit 15” - 5 on 4.5 wheels, and are designed to accommodate the deeper backspace/offset. I will confirm this prior to purchase. I appreciate your...

    1969 Dart Roof

    I will need some drip rail sections. They are reproduced for some B-bodies. I know they won’t fit as a complete part, but I am wondering if the channel is the same shape. If so, I could cut pieces and patch as needed.

    Hello, Can someone tell me what other cars have an identical roof to a 1969 Dodge Dart GTS? I cannot find online any new roof panels/sections. Are there any other cars that use the same drip rail sheet metal? Thanks for your time, Jim
