Great advice and tips to look for so we don't run into an issue! Thanks John.
I actually did not know this myself, it may be common knowledge, I don’t normally run 14” wheels on anything so I will call it a learning experience for me this time.
Great info Thanks
Very welcome, wish I knew prior too.
Nice tip John! Thanks.. I ran into this problem last spring with mine. I ended up taking a metal rasp and file and filed the brackets down to where the rim wouldn’t rub. Took a while but it did the job. Wish I saw this video back then. 👍🏻
I was going to do the same thing!! I really wanted to run 14” tires on this build. Next time I know what to look for.
Wow, excellent tip. Definitely will be looking for that difference. When I’m ready for the brake install. Thanks. Looking 👍
Welcome, felt it might save a few people some headaches.
Great video brother you save me because I need to do this too my bird you are the man
Glad
It helped!
Cant wail to upgrade my All-Manual power Drum setup on my 68. Great info.
Disc brake upgrade totally worth the effort to do it.
Nice tip! Car looks like its coming along nicely. I'm not gonna use my 15" wheels. Probably gonna go with the 17" year ones.
I really like the year one wheels,
I don’t think you can go wrong with those.
Great video. Im gonna have to look at mine, I bought right stuff and im not planning on running 14's but you have peaked my intrest lol. Keep up the great work.
I have built and owned several birds and never knew there was more then one type of caliper bracket, mostly because i haven’t used 14” wheels but on maybe two of them prior and just got lucky I suppose.
@@VinylVillageGarage it shouldnt bother on my current build but i sure do appreciate the info. you never know when this info can be handy.
Now r there’s the answer I’ve been looking for. Do you think my 68 drum wheels will clear that genuine Right Suff flat bracket?
Maybe, there are some 14” wheels that will not clear the 14” brackets. I can’t tell which ones. I just know if you don’t have the 14” brackets none of the 14” wheels will clear.
Jon, are the brackets available as a separate part, or do you have to order as a kit from Right Stuff? Car is looking good!
Yup you can buy the brackets only from right stuff about $80 for the pair.
Check part number CMB01
