what spindle?

Re: Original Hemi Cuda Info.......
 

I'm definitely not trying to be a know it all, but on my Dart, it used a Dart spindle, with a Dart rotor, that came with the 4 1/2" pattern, and a Dart 4 piston caliper. When I got my Dart it had been stripped on some of the special parts, and that was something I had to find, because that is one of the special things that they did with the '68 Hemi Darts, and '68 Hemi Cudas. I found a set of rotors, with the 4 1/2" bolt pattern off of another original '68 Hemi Cuda in Pennsylvania (this was way before the internet), made a deal on them, and the UPS drivers went on strike, and it took me months to get them. I wondered if they would ever make it to me!
Now I could be totally wrong, and somebody else might give you another answer, but this was my case. Mark Janaky is the man to ask.
If you have any more questions on how have done now to preserve the special rotors, you can contact me.
Just my 2 cents,
Dan

I have never seen the green Barracuda with the fish scales that John Hagen ran in the early days. That car is said to be an original "BO29 code" car.

The dark candy red Barracuda that John Hagen was running in the mid 1970s was a 1969 car converted into a 1968. In the late 1970s it was sold to Rick Johnson, who still has the car, I am told.
