I have to replace front calipers, maybe rotors, has anyone upgraded to a new baking system, 14 inch rotors ? | ||

There is a thread here that was posted by Steve VW on his front brakes. Not quite as old as yours, but real good basic information. Try a search for brake, brakes, calipers, or just try searching the year you are working on. I am sure Steve VW will have a suggestion also. | |||

The early smaller coaches had lighter brakes than my 86 tag coach. Mine has discs on front and drive axles, 19.5 inch 10 lug rims. Some older ones have 8 lug smaller wheels and drum brakes in the rear. Last time I checked, the rear drums are totally unavailable. One of the threads here discussed machining other drums to fit. check this: https://www.barthmobile.com/eve...653981387#9653981387 and this: (Flathead may have part numbers you can use.) https://www.barthmobile.com/eve...533945787#6533945787 As for front end, it is similar to mine but smaller discs. I think they are still available. Let us know what you find. 9708-M0037-37MM-01 "98" Monarch 37 Spartan MM, 6 spd Allison Cummins 8.3 325+ hp | |||

Thank you all. The brake system is a front disc and rear drum. The rear system is fine. The front rotor is a 14 inch diameter. I am going to contact Wilwood and/or another manufacturer to see what upgrades if any are available. I replaced the 454 engine twice, rebuilt the original and that did not work, ended up buying a crate 454 and it is working beautifully. Went in through the door. | |||
