Who knows what car make model could donate its front disc rotors etc. to fit existing tube axle front end on a '33 Plymouth. Not looking for aftermarket kits at this stage-looking for used components Alan
Not disc but a '59 dodge D100 pickup donated its spindles, backing plates and brakes to my '33 axle. All i had to do was have the kingpin boss on the axle drilled out to the truck size pins. .875 if memory serves.
On my '34 Plymouth PE (independant suspension) I used rotors and calipers from a Dodge Demon or Plymouth Duster about 1971 or '72. The outer bearing is the same, and I bored the rotors to accept the '34 inner bearing, and a narrow seal to suit the diameters from a bearing house. This gives you the same 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern. I made up a caliper mounting bracket from 1/2" steel plate that mounts to the spindle through the steering arm using grade 8 fine thread bolts. It worked SLICK! Happy motoring, Frank
I do not think you are going to find a bolt on brake ***embly. Lack of bolt on brakes is why the aftermarket kits are offered. Search Dodge Tube axle or Dodge wavy tube axle here on Jalopy Journal.
Rustyhope sells a kit to modifiy your spindles. proably the closes you will come. check him out to see.
I have a 33 dodge coupe I used 71 -74 e body rotors,the outer bearing is the same size as yourt axl. The inner bearing is bigger. I made a sleeve to press on to the spindle for the bearing & seal. Now I have mopar disc brakes on my car. I also engineered & made a caliper bracket to bolt onto the stock spindles.
