70-72 front disk brake bearings
« on: April 07, 2013 - 05:08:40 PM »
I just bought new rotors for the car, but they didnt come with inner or outer bearings. I've looked online but cannot find a definitive answer as to which bearings are for the disk brake setup. I can only find drum brake wheel bearings. Anyone know the timken part numbers?

My 71 cuda has L68149 inner and LM11949 outer. I believe they went to different size in 72. Buy the way what brand rotors and what did they cost? I cant find anyone who has them.

I'd recomend using the 73-74 spindles as rotors are easier to get and then it's easy to do the big rotor swap?

DrDiff now has the slider type caliper adapters for the bigger rotor, or find cordoba ones used for pin type calipers?

I bought the rotors from rockauto.com, in stock and fast delivery. I'll try those part numbers
