Re: Disc Brakes & Front Ends

[ron nieminen <reniemin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One plus of using real Mopar disk brake  stuff is the inner wheel bearing 
area of the disk brake spindle is much larger.         You also get a bigger 
inner brg.            Also with the proper caliper mount and rotor you can 
use your 14 inch Ansen Sprints.             Ron
