Re: IML: Budd Rotors - a 300 guy wants in as well



hi all
 
I used the supra rotors on my 67 chrysler town & country and it worked out good.Fore mee it seems like the imperial and chrysler/dodge/plymouth with budd brakes all use the same rotor,but imperial has another hub with a different bolt pattern than the the other c bodys.

You mean 5 x 4.5 ", but that is on the hub and probably does not have anything to do with the braking disc. Someone in the club said that they did the Supra rotor conversion for a 1967 (?) Chysler Town and Country. If this is the case the rotors would have to be very similar between the Chrysler and Imperial. Still Caveat emptor.

Nick: Could we possible get the specs for the brake discs from the 1967 Chrysler 300?

Hi nick.

Someone else in the club is keeping track of this.  All communication is published on our mailing list, and if you don't join, you'd need to work out a way of staying in the loop in this with them.
 
I am cc'ing the club mailing list in the hopes that the folks that are running this see it and contact you directly. 

Look before you leap - the other Chrysler products had a different set of lug-holes (5.5 on 5) as far as I know and perhaps different diameter/offset rotors(?).  This could be a serious consideration worth making up front.

If you do the research and figure out a path on that, we are trying to boost the number of prepaid orders to get over a threshold of 50 required to drive the price below $200 per rotor, and I'm sure that the others would be just fine if you mentioned this to other 300 folks and got them to pile on (just make certain that everyone is clear about what they will get - IMPERIAL rotors).


Can the folks spearheading this please contact Nick?  Sounds like there's maybe another avenue to getting over the 50-unit wall.

Hi,
I have a 67 Chrysler 300 convertible. I hear your club may be interested in reproduction rotors for the Budd disc brakes.
My car has the Budd disc brakes. I, too, would be interested. I would prefer to keep my Budd system rather than change to the 73 Chrysler rotors and calipers as many others have done.
Please respond and let me know something about what your club is doing with this.
I visit the Imperial site often and I love it!  But I'm not sure I want to join the listserver as I already belong to the Chrysler 300 club listserver AND I probably have nothing to add that would be directly Imperial related.
