9" hub/drum 1970 Dodge dart

[redbeard]

Ok before I bought my car the guy did a disc brake conversion. It appears they cut the drum brake parts off of the hub and spindle to do the brake conversion. But now I have spun the outer bearing race and need to replace the hub part. With out buying a whole another kit does anyone make a hub replacement for the 9" drum/hub.

I will get photos of it after work today if the rain holds off.

Find out what you got. Take pictures. Maybe a Willwood kit IDK. Do they look like this?
Wilwood Disc Brakes - 1970 Dodge Dart 9" Inch Drum Brake Spindle

Unless maybe he changed the spindle to KH brakes? What bolt pattern do you have?

If they are factory pre 73 drums brakes, I would not think it would be difficult to round up a used one. Bear in mind they had L and R thread studs back then. If you are unaware DO NOT drive the factory studs out without cutting off the "swedge"

Nobody I'm aware of ever made a replacement hub. Mopar only sold them as a hub and drum assembly. Find a good used assembly and have the seller make sure the outer race hasn't spun. It's a very common problem with those.

I looked and looked for a new 9" hub for my car it appears they dont exist so i had to go with good used ones.

That's all there is.

I've had great success taking worn bearing surfaces to a machine shop for " spray-welding".
They then re-machine and polish the surface.
No drama. - no regrets.
