  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Not sure what other year Rivs will swap. I know NO other make or model will fit. Only Rivs, and I believe only 67.

    I can email the ROA tech for that year and let you know the answer.

    But...

    You should keep the drums. Here's why:

    Unless you can afford a couple grand to have a modern disc system adapted to your spindles, the Riv disc system is very rare and incredibly hard to find parts for.

    The big aluminum drums you have, when kept adjusted and filled with good meaty shoes, will stop pretty well for you.
