Front brake covers

[KPoole9008]

I have a frontend from Speedway. It is part # 913-39001. I am looking for a set of covers that cover the complete back of the calipers, spindles, etc. Anyone know where I can get them?

Is this what you are looking for?

At $50 cost for replacement ft. brake pads, I don't think I would be shopping there, myself... and I did not see what I think he is talking about on that page... I thought Mr. Roadster parts made what he wanted...

I'm sorry Ted, but this was on that link ( http://www.est1946.com/so-calspeedshophotrodfrontbrakes.aspx ) and I thought that it might be what he was looking for by the description that he gave.

That is a good looking setup for drum brakes, if that is what he is looking for, but sounded like he had disk brakes and wanted to hide the rotors??

Ted: Those are actually disc brake covers made to look like buick fins...

As for do-it-yourselfers, I've seen some guys use $10 aluminum fry pans and some creative cutting to make some cool disc brake covers. There is a thread on the HAMB about it here. I like the idea, and I've seen some where they've drilled some holes for cooling.

Dave, those are VW type 3 calipers. They use a 3/8" solid rotor and were used in the early Super Bell brake kits.

I have always wanted to make some solid round caliper mounting brackets for my Super Bell Super Stopper kit. Got VW Type II calipers but would use Wilwood calipers for the full circle caliper mounts.

I have an unfinished set of finned covers that I have wanted to use for shows, but I have found that it is very handy to be able to see the rotors, this will show you the color of the rotors, if the pads are dragging the rotors will get Yellow then Blue, you do not want any dragging of the pads that will heat up the rotors that hot...

Any idea where I can buy the Super Bell rotors? Mine measure 3/8" x 10.5". I would like them in stainless steel if possible. Thanks.

Super Bell is a Pete and Jake's hot rod shop product. Google them for their information

I think O'Brian truckers is making a finned aluminum cover for discs now that look like Buick drums - not sure but I think I saw them advertised recently.

The thread on the hamb is called "TECH: Easy Disc Brake Covers", I'd post a link but don't have enough posts yet.
