      Wilwood hub dimensions?

      Because I'd like bigger brakes than anything offered for my car currently, and because I like to overcome challenges (probably more of b than a) I'm trying to put toget my own big brake kit. My car has original drum spindles, and wilwood makes a hub that allows you to attatch a hub to this spindle isstead of the integral hub/rotor assembly that I've seen on scarebird and ssbc.
      the wilwood hub is part number 270-8779 and comes in the dynalite pro front end kit 140-2721.

      I'm just looking for some particular dimensions of it. I will attatch a (very crude) picture that shows what I'm looking for.
      Basically I'm looking for the outer Diameter of the hub (OD), the outer diameter of the base of the dustcap (ID), and the height of the dustcap.
      on the off chance that someone on this site has one they can measure I would be indebted to you.

      Other than that can anyone recommend somewhere I can actually get a hold of one myself (without buying).

      summit selss them for 130 a piece, which isn't too bad, but this is kind of a pipe dream in itself and I'd rather not fork over the money for something that won't work.
      Thanks
      Dan

      What are you trying to put together? Kore3 will do custom offset hubs if that's what you're after.

      well kore3 doesnt seem to make anything that isn't for GM spindles, which is usually the case. I'm pretty much just trying to build my own front big brake setup. for a original drum mopar, 1971 b-body. I might end up just buying one from summit and figuring it out from there

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      I am aware of their setup, they're just selling the wilwood kit though.

      Yeah, but it is all wilwood stuff. I would call wilwood and see what they can put together.

      I'm trying to avoid spending $1700-2000 on a 13 inch brake setup. I know it's possible to do it on the cheap and I need this information to do it.

      Summit will take returns no questions asked as long as you do so within 30 days of receipt. All you will be out is shipping. However, their 24 hr tech line is very good and could probably give you your answers without the need to buy one.
