Re: [AMC-List] Corrections to: AMX disk brake kit for 62 classicMOPAR A/B donor-8 3/4

["John Elle" <johnelle@xxxxxxxxx>]

O.K., a few more moments was spent in researching my files and this is
what I came up with for what ever it is worth. 
 
SNIP
but the last year a-bodies had the 8 3/4" was '71.
SNIP
 
Usage: Heavy Duty, Built: 57-74, A-Body: 66-72,  B-Body: 62-74, E-Body:
70-74
Rear Axle Installation Dimensions
A-Body ?60-76 track 55.56? Perches C-C 43 ? 
B Body ?62-70 track 59.20?  Perches C-C 44?
B Body ?71-79, R-Body ?79-81 Track 63.4? Perches C-C 47.3? 
E-Body ?70-74 Track 60.70? Perches C-C 46? 
Note these are Chrysler?s Spec. Actual parts may differ and often do!
(is that really a surprise?)
 
All 8 ¾ axles built for A bodies carry a small-bolt 4? lug pattern and
small 2 5/16 register flange. 
This can be changed to the 4 ½ ? pattern by swapping in axle shafts with
hubs in the larger pattern. Then B-body 10 or 11 inch brakes bolt up to
the A-Body housing and fit the 2 13/16? registers on the new axles. This
gives the option of using standard AMC wheels on this axle. 
For other options check aftermarket sources. 
 
Hope it is useful somewhere
John.
