airheart brakes?

Hey,
Im thinkin of using these brakes on my next rod. They came off of a dodge powered dragster with a doge wavy axle. My problem is I need an outer bearing race, and pads for them. I know speedway used to sell airheart parts, but where else do you think I can get this stuff?

 

I am also in need of any info about the model of brakes these are. They have no part number, and the pad is round and about 1 1/2" in diameter.

 

It sounds as though the vintage Halibrand pucks may work. They're about that same diameter. I've seen them for sale on eBay more than once. If you aren't in a hurry, I have a few of those in my shop that I can measure for you. It will be a day or two.

 

have a look at these sites...I think the calipers were made by hurst originally, the ones in the oucture seem to be the 150X series, i used to have a pair of them on the front of my 41 willys. I think the pads speedway sell would fit your calipers.

the only place i have ever found parts for Airhrart brakes is Speedway Motors....they have brake pads and caliper repair kits for them , but they state they don't hace a lot left

check this out , and do a keyword search for "airheart" , it will bring up all the parts they have

well they look nothing like the ones on the airheart site, but its a start. Thanks, and anyone else out there got a thought?

 

STRANGE Engineering in Illinois sells pads and rebuild kits for airheart brakes....... LUKESTER

 

Jim, When ya find out let me as well. I have two pair that I have to rebuild for my Willys coupe. I looked at the Airheart site as well. Gawd, they are expensive new. Have not contacted them yet to see if thet have them. Let us know

 

Lukester,
Thanks I will look into it.

 

Curbspeed,
They are 174-06 brakes and they have kits for them. They are an old vintage setup and you cannot get them anymore, but they do have kits for them.

 

Thanks, I'll look into it.

 

Here's a quick sketch of one of my vintage Halibrand pucks.

 

I'd like to find a set of those airhearts for my willys? front or rear.... anyone????????

 

I think Wilwood's Billet Spot Caliper is the same as the Airheart.

Part number 120-1064
Replacement pads 150-1251K

Should be available at any Wilwood Dealer.
