Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build

Rotors came in today. I weighed everything except the pads and caliper brackets (don't have those yet) to compare to the old disc conversion stuff. Wasn't expecting the bigger brakes to be lighter, but they'll shave about five pounds off each side. Not much overall, but it's all unsprung weight so it makes a bigger difference.



12" Disc Conversion Parts:
  • Spindle/Rotor Assembly- 55 pounds
  • Caliper.- 10 pounds, 3.7 oz


65 Pounds, 3.7 oz each side.



New parts:
  • Rotor 28 pounds, 4.0 oz
  • Caliper 8 pounds 14.9 oz
  • Hub 5 pounds, 2.0 oz
  • Spindle 18 pounds, 0.9 oz

60 pounds, 5.8 oz
