here's an article from Mopar Action, you can double check your partscompatibility, there were two sizes of rotors and 2 sizes of caliper adapters to match. and of coarse, the slider groove or key way needs to be smooth and lubed with some grease. I think those retainer clips need to have some spring loaded tension bent into them, so pounding them flat
might not do. anyway here's the link- <http://www.moparaction.com/Tech/archive/disc-main.html> hope it helps you find the problem Schuyler 62 Dodge Dart 440 wagon w/ Poly 318 <http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.org/ml-wrobel62.html>FYI - I Do the Decal designs for the Poly head 318 and more! email me with your needs -

ListI have an odd problem I've never encountered in a dozen disc brake swaps. My calipers are climbing off the rotors and bending the heck out of the holddown hardware. Pics here:http://pic19.picturetrail.com/VOL1039/1361367/21824735/369642977.jpg http://pic19.picturetrail.com/VOL1039/1361367/21824735/369642976.jpg http://pic19.picturetrail.com/VOL1039/1361367/21824735/369642973.jpgAll 4 corners are like this to the point that the calipers are coming unseated from their keyways. The brackets bend up into the wheels. I hammered them back flat for the moment but I'm at a loss to explain why they're doing this.Any ideas?
