Hey guys, bought a wilwood front end disc brake kit for my 68 charger, problem is, the magnum 500 mopar centre caps dont fit on with the disc brake installed.
Spewing, trying to find ways around it, anyone have a wilwood disc brake front kit on there charger and running mag 500s.
Would love some input. Cheers.

What brand of Magnum 500's are you using? There's many that are using the Magnum 500's without the caps. I went with Baer Brakes because I prefer the Magnums.

Pictures are not mine.

Can you send the Wilwood's back? Here's mine with the Baer Brakes.

I doubt it, i imported them in from the USA to Aus so be a fair bit of messing around,
was just seeing if anyone else had wilwoods installed with magnum 500s.
worst comes to worst ill just use there centre caps i guess.

You might be able to take them to a machine shop and have them milled down a little bit.

You should be able to cut the center cap tops off. And then re-weld and machine them. I ran into the same issue on my 70.....decided to use rallye's instead of Magnum 500's.
