Re: B-Body Brake Conversion Revisited




I can't say for sure if those spindels are a direct fit or not. since there were no factory disc brakes on a B Body until 66 and they were IIRC a KH 4 piston set up They look like the 73-76 A Body spindels. I'd quiery the seller and find out for sure. I did the A Body 73-76 disc swap on a 69 Charger and it worked great and still used my 14 in wheels. If they are the A Body spindels, I'd be willing to bet you could find them a lot less expensive elsewhere. Of course you still have to buy all the rest of the stuff you mentioned. Just my 2c.

OK...I want to double check what's left of the info in my brain before I
make a purchase.

I want to convert my 65 Coronet w/ 4 wheel drums to front manual disc
for the upcoming driving season. I already have a MC from a 70 coronet
w/ man brakes.

The way I see it, if I buy these disc brake spindles w/ caliper
brackets...

then all I need to get and install the rest of the parts (Proportioning
valve, brake line to said valve, rotors, calipers, pads, bearings, etc),
bleed them, and I'm good to go, correct? And the above spindles are a
direct fit?

And my next question is will this disc setup allow me to run my stock
14" wheels? or will need to goto 15's? Finally, are there several
different sizes of disc's available or just one size. Sorry...all my
knowledge intimate knowledge about parts interchange is w/ A-Bodies.

Thanks in advance!
