"Mid-size" is another name for A-body, or Chevelle/Lemans/Tempest/GTO/Cutlass/F85/Skylark,/GS. Also called "GM intermediate size"Yes what
Thanks, looks similar.They might have come from this article. Although the rotor hat does looks different, there are possibly other conversions.
Narrow Brakes
Thanks, looks similar.
No difference between 69-74 3rd Gen Nova and 69-72 Chevelle brake rotors. In fact, you can pull the entire spindle, rotor, caliper assembly off a 68-72 Chevelle and it will bolt right onto a 68-74 Nova....all you need to do is swap the steering arms from front steer to rear steer. All the parts are the same except the steering arm and the caliper hose.I've been building a Gen 3 Nova for a while. I rebuilt the brakes and bought new wheels and tires for it. Many years later I've finally gotten it painted and got the fenders on for the first time.
Anyways, I have a big rubbing issue with the outside upper part of the tire and the inside lip of the fenders.
When I pull the part numbers for the brakes I bought I see they are the exact same part numbers for the brakes on a Chevelle. So do I have "Chevelle Brakes" that are pushing my track width out the same way as the Gen 2 Nova?
Anybody know if the replacement zero offset rotors used in this kit are a factory part from another vehicle? Changing wheels to get the correct backspacing would get me in the "custom" order wheels and the price goes way up.
Any suggestions?
you didn't say what wheel you have or the back space. but a back space of 4 3/8" on a 14 x 6 rally works perfect on my 66. this rally has a code of YW by the valve stem an a 205 70 tire.I've been building a Gen 3 Nova for a while.
