[@seadogg5416]

Thank You Sir, I would have been in a Bind if I had purchased the Right Stuff because I'm running 15x8 Rallys... Thanks for the heads-up...

So what your say'n is that all kits aren't built the same? Well dog-gone-it. Thanks for sharing that knowledge. Now I can get back to building my Dodge! lol

Someone on the Jegs site complaining the bracket pulls the caliper in too close to the rotor and it’s dragging on the hat of the rotor. I wonder where the variation is.

[@andhotrodshop]

@@mikecarner they must have had a bad one, we have went thru 3 of these kits and that didn’t happen 👍🏻🙌🏼😂😂🔧🔧🔧 thanks for watching 👊🏼🎥🎥

[@mikecarner]

@ I decided to purchase the kit. Installed fine, did not bind like the review stated. It does ride on the outside of the rotor hat, but can be relieved by bending the tabs on the pads. Thanks for the video.

[@andhotrodshop]

@ your welcome, glad you got your kit working 👍🏻🙌🏼👊🏼🔧🔧🔧🔧

[@charlie81980]

Would be nice to buy just the brackets. What disc setup are you using in the fronts?

[@andhotrodshop]

The brackets are available on eBay for about $85 bucks On the front it’s factory disc 👍🏻👊🏼🙌🏼 thanks for watching 🙌🏼👊🏼🎥🎥🎥🎥

[@doug595959]

thank you i'm getting ready to do a rear disc brake swap on a 72 cheyenne and using 10 inch rally wheels . do these take special pads or can you get them anywhere

[@andhotrodshop]

@@doug595959 the kits you buy come with calipers and brake pads, but the pads are cheap china just and turn your rims black every time you drive it. So go to local part store and ask for best pad on a 1980 Cadillac eldorado 👍🏻👊🏼👊🏼 that’s what those calipers actually come from is 1980’s Cadillac 👍🏻👊🏼🙌🏼🔧🔧🔧

@@andhotrodshop thanks i didn't want something that i couldn't get locally or was a one off that had to be special ordered

[@andhotrodshop]

@@doug595959 yeah I like these cause it’s reasonable time to get parts 👍🏻🙌🏼🔧🔧🔧

You guys coming to cruising the coast this year?

[@andhotrodshop]

we might be making that an every other year thing, we will see 👍✋👌 see ya in june, cant wait, im so excited 😂😂😂

[@ScootersFab]

@@andhotrodshop well that’s why I was asking lol I will prolly not be making it to the tour :(

[@zacharytallman99]

So would 15x8 rims work with that conversion kit

[@andhotrodshop]

yes most 15 x 8 rims will work on the kit from Jegs. you may need to trim the calipers if the casting flashing it rough. Thanks for watching

[@1972cst]

Good info right here!! 👍 This going under the K5? Or is it a C5 since it’s 2wd? 🤔😂 🤷🏻‍♂️🤪

[@andhotrodshop]

No actually it’s going under OG’s yellow 84 squarebody truck, we are changing rear axle as the first step towards 6.0 swap 👍🏻👊🏼🙌🏼🔧🔧🔧🔧
