I'm having a tough time finding some reasonably priced wheel bearing caps for my build. It's for the original '70 front disc rotors which call for the 1.79" diameter caps. Any idea where these may be available. I have my originals but they are pretty beat up.

Thanks in advance...................

Let me know what @MoparDave says.  I've been trying to find a good source for them too.

If Dave doesn't have them check with Summit. Jimynick got some last year for his 74. Maybe 70 is different.  :notsure:

Dave, I ordered these and they are for the 9 inch brakes I assume because they are smaller. 1.60" diameter. Even Dorman webpage states that it crosses over to the correct part number. I think the correct part #1613416 but I could be wrong because parts book doesn't distinguish between drum or disc that I can tell. I was able to use my original rotors and dust caps were on them and they measure out at 1.79".

Thanks for reply

Checked with Summit earlier and no love.

Thanks for the reply

Yes I checked with Roseville and no luck.

My local Pep Boys had some generic sets, and one of them fit perfectly. So you might want to try your local auto parts place, unless you are going for original.

I've tried three parts houses and no luck. There's not a Pep Boys close to me but there is one several miles away and I plan to check later.

Can't believe these are that hard to find.

I've sent an email to Tom but haven't heard back.

I found them at Canadian Tire in the "Help" section/brand of parts. I did have to grind them down some so they would seat on the rotor and not on the race. I'm sure they might not be " correct" but they were functional.  :alan2cents:
