OK,
I was looking at my 67 factory service manual last night.
It makes NO distinction between any component.......rotor,
caliper, master cylinder, power booster, safety valve.....for the Budd Disc
Brakes between the Imperial and the other Chrysler models.
If this IS the case, and right now I'm assuming it IS, this
is VERY good news indeed.
The factory service manual covers 1967 model Chryslers and
Imperials.
Now, the FSM is pretty comprehensive and it does indicate
where difference do exist between the other Chrysler models and the
Imperial. I think we are looking good here folks!
Right now my car is under car covers. I have been in
contact with someone else who owns a Chrysler (not an Imperial) and I am buying
all his Budd disc brake components for $100. They are used and I suppose in
usable but not new condition. Once I get these from him I will do all the
measuring you would like!
I WANT IN!!!! I'M VERY INTERESTED IN BUYING SOME REPRODUCED
ROTORS!!
I think I will join your Imperial Club.

You mean 5 x 4.5 ", but that is on the hub and probably does not have
anything to do with the braking disc. Someone in the club said that they did the
Supra rotor conversion for a 1967 (?) Chysler Town and Country. If this is the
case the rotors would have to be very similar between the Chrysler and Imperial.
Still Caveat emptor.
Nick: Could we possible get the specs for the brake discs from the 1967
Chrysler 300?

Hi
nick.
Someone else in the club is keeping track of this. All
communication is published on our mailing list, and if you don't join, you'd
need to work out a way of staying in the loop in this with
them.
I am cc'ing the club mailing list in the hopes that the
folks that are running this see it and contact you directly.
Look before you leap - the other Chrysler products had a different set
of lug-holes (5.5 on 5) as far as I know and perhaps different diameter/offset
rotors(?). This could be a serious consideration worth making up
front.
If you do the research and figure out a path on that, we are
trying to boost the number of prepaid orders to get over a threshold of 50
required to drive the price below $200 per rotor, and I'm sure that the others
would be just fine if you mentioned this to other 300 folks and got them to
pile on (just make certain that everyone is clear about what they will get -
IMPERIAL rotors).
Can the folks spearheading this please contact
Nick? Sounds like there's maybe another avenue to getting over the
50-unit wall.

Hi,
I have a 67 Chrysler 300 convertible. I hear

My car has the Budd disc brakes. I, too, would
be interested. I would prefer to keep my Budd system rather than change to
the 73 Chrysler rotors and calipers as many others have done.
Please respond and let me know something about
what your club is doing with this.
I visit the Imperial site often and I love
it! But I'm not sure I want to join the listserver as I already belong
to the Chrysler 300 club listserver AND I probably have nothing to add that
would be directly Imperial related.
