69 Dart 4 door cruiser
When I get motivated to revisit this, I’ll see if there is a way to make it work.
I set these large ball joint UCAs aside just to save them for some future project. I thought I was going to be able to make use of those small ball joint arms. I convert everything to the later disc setup so the 3 pair of small ball joint UCAs I gave in the shed are pretty much worthless to me.
The thick top section of the knuckles seems like overkill but there is no way I’d grind them thinner just to make this work!
One of the reasons that I like the calipers mounted toward the back is the routing of the brake hoses is better. In the stock front mount, the brake hose right at the caliper has a hard line that runs right under the upper ball joint shank and nut. It is crowded in there that way.
I like the look of the rear mounted calipers....
