Re: [Chrysler300] F Body disc brakes on 300H ?

[mwl1967@xxxxxxx]

Jeff,
        forgive me if I'm wrong but  I think the H is "short wheelbase". If 
so there's no direct bolt on  factory parts which will maintain correct 
geometry and acceptable turn radius.  Years ago when John would come to Az to 
scour junkyards we spent a day at Hidden  Valley comparing drum vs disc brake 
knuckles and although parts would "bolt-on"  all where shorter or taller. 
 
        Best solution with the SWB  cars is the bracket from AAJ brakes. If 
you want to get a little more creative  there's an available bracket which 
will probably let you hang a gen2 Viper  Brembo caliper on the original drum 
knuckle. I was heading that direction with  my K when I said "enough is 
enough".
 
    Now if the H is a LWB car then I guess none of this  matters so sorry 
to make you read it  ;)

I've been playing around with my 300H trying to figure a way to make it  
stop. I find that the steering knuckles from a Chrysler F-Body or late 70s  
B-Body will fit the lower control arm ball joint. I don't have the spindles to 
 try but before I spend any more time and some money - has anyone tried 
this  combination yet and what did you learn ?

Thanks for any input  !
