Re: AAJ Disc Brake Sticks - 20 Sec Video



It's solved.   I was sent the adapters for the larger wheel.   I just
need to go get '76 Monaco rotors.  They use the same bearings/etc.
Luckilly I have 15" wheels that clear the calipers.

AAJ/Roger was going to do a free swap, but I decided to just go get
the larger rotors.

Yeh,  my discs spin a heck of a lot easier with the wheels on.  I
think I'll still look to see if there's any adjustments to be made
once I get the new rotors.

Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person. That is, send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
