[RE]IML: Budd brakes

["Mark Jefferson" <imperialist67@xxxxxxxxx>]

As someone else already noted, the calipers (REAL hard to find for a LONG time) are available from calipers online. Also chech an earlier posting from Shaun Shroff at Durabrake, they have another "batch" of the rotors available. I believe the pads are easier to find. 

Good luck, and re-doing those brakes will be $$ well spent. When in good working order, those brakes are excellent, don't grab/pull/fade, not "touchy" either. Mine get quite a workout in Wash. DC - glad to have them. 

Good luck on your brake work.

> I have a 1967 Crown, I am in the process of reworking the front brakes (Budd disk).  I am looking to get some info on where to get new seals.  I am lucky as I found a new set of pads in the trunk (grandpa believed in being prepared).  I purchased a set of rebuilt calipers from cardone unfortunately at least one has been rebuilt incorrectly and I think the other is defective as well.  I think I might be better off rebuilding the originals myself.  I am in Phoenix, AZ area,  looking for advice from anyone who has already had this adventure.
