Any idea how big the center register is on a 8 1/4? I can measure my Cragars and see how much space I have for it. Leaning towards option 1 if All i have to do is take the drums and axles to a machine shop to drill for the SBP. Seems it would be cheaper than to have the E Body 8 3/4 cut to size...

Thanks for taking the time to give your opinion here. I want to get rid of the 7 1/4 next year when I swap my slant for a 360. Mild street car. I want to keep my SBP Cragars since I have new tires on and just did a disc brake conversion to keep the SBP on the front. (Scarebird) A local seller...

Lugnutguys is out of stock right now along with most everyone else. Speedway Motors says they'll have some by the end of the month. @4spdragtop let me know if they have any of those .59 shank OD in stock.

@HemiSSDart hope you had good time at Carlisle! I've had no luck tracking some lugs down that are in stock. Can you send me a pm?

Thanks for looking @cudamark Think my best bet is to wait for @HemiSSDart to get back from Carlisle. @newmexguy It might be hard finding the SBP mag lugs since they are the small diameter. Here's a pic with the difference from .68 on the left and the .59 shank diameter on the right.

I'll call up the local Pepboys. The speedway motors link is the right size shank, but they are out of stock until at least July 30th. @cudamark lmk if you find 5 laying around you're willing to part with. The ones I have on the car right now take the 11/16 socket to get off. I only need 5...

Those are exactly what I need. Summit says they will ship out in October if ordered today. Really don't want to wait that long just to get a wheel mounted. If a member doesn't have 5 left over to sell I might just take some bigger ones to a machine shop to have them narrow up the shank. I...

The shank diameter for those that you listed are .68. Those will be too big to fit in through the wheel. Need it to be the .592 Shank Diameter. Thanks tho!

Going with the Scarebird conversion to keep my SBP Cragars. The kit came with new hubs so I need 5 right hand thread mag lugs for my wheels. They seem to be back ordered on Summit/Jegs/Amazon/ebay. If you have a few please let me know so I can finish up the conversion. Thanks! 7/16-20 Shank...

@dadsbee nice! That joint and extensions might do the trick! Still might grab some ramps to have. I used the POL rubber kit and refreshed everything. Can’t wait to finally get to driving this baby. Been off the road since 92.

Sometimes it just takes another set of eyes! Thank you for the tip. I'll buy some ramps and do it that way. Should have enough clearance to move my wrench and have the suspension loaded.

Almost done wrapping up the front suspension. Got the car back on her feet, set ride height and now I just need to torque the Pivot Shaft Nuts and strut ends. I was able to get a torque wrench on the drive side nut going from the top down. (Slant Six). I just don't see how I can keep the car...

Thank you gentlemen! Or degenerates!

Hey Y'all, I'm in the process of a front suspension rebuild with the POL rubber kit for my 66 Dart. Looking at the passenger side spindle I noticed some marks on it. Maybe pitting? Is this cause for concern? Will this mess with my new bearings or cause scraping noises? Any suggestions on if I...
