Upgrade to LBP - Ordering New Axles???

71Demon340 said

I don't want to re-drill the stock axles because of what abodyjoe said - not enough metal left outside the studs. If the LBP axles kick the flange out a little, this causes the rotor to be farther out. So is the rotor going to line up properly on the shoes?

Unless you`re really building a lot of horsepower I wouldn`t worry with the loss of material on the axles. Now if you`re racing, running slicks, pushing 500 hp, and pulling high rpm hole shots, then you might want to go with a replacement axle. The new axles will push the drum (I guess thats what you mean by rotor) out further even with the new backing plates. If you go with a replacement axle you`ll need to get the backing plates, shoes, and drums that go with the later model brakes. If you still want new axles ,then like Abodyjoe said, call Moser and they can furnish them. The drums and shoes are available at most auto parts stores, you can probably reuse your wheel cylinders, you`ll need new 1/2" lugs, and the backing plates you can probably find at a junkyard.
