12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build
Since I'm never satified and I wasn't thrilled about using a wheel spacer, for some reason I looked up the 2010 SRT rear brake rotor dimensions and low and behold the offset was much greater than the RT front rotor. The diameter also grows to 13.75" I figured I'd give it a shot. I picked up an SRT rear rotor from the local store and it will be perfect. I have about 1/2' clearance to the inside spoke of the wheel so no spacers! My brackets I designed actually worked for mock up too, but the caliper is about .010" to the outside edge of the rotor. That's too close for me. I'll have two more make to give me more space. Two other wins using this rotor is the pad is damn near the same width of the brake surface and the only spacer needed now is a .100" washer between the caliper bracket and the spindle. I'm happy enough now that this will be the last iteration and I'll start sourcing parts for final assembly.
A keen eye will notice the moisture on my wheels. That's condensation. Last week was in the 20-30s here in south LA, and now its 80+ with stupid humidity. The entire car is sweating like this....Ugh.
