Interesting, the pressed in studs and thick flange sold me on Airkewld. My old CSP brakes are now on Lenny's Spyder as he converted to wide5. Looks so much more the part now with the Vintage 190 wheels.

Airkewld brakes do have their problems, and the front install wasn't easy. It required some machine work on the seal area and the grease cap. Everything else went in fine. I will add that the CSP solid rotor brakes are DEFINITELY 3/8" to 1/2" narrower than Airkewld. My new car has a 2" narrowed beam to keep the tires under the fenders.

I don't think it's possible to have stock track width with a ball-joint drum spindle and a wide5 conversion. Lowered or king pin no problem I believe.
