If you've done the A/M body disk brake conversion on your car (or manage to get yourself a hold of a set of spindles/brackets), and the parts store doesn't list the parts anymore, here's some part numbers to help them cross reference:

All are Bendix part numbers unless otherwise specified

Calipers: Raybestos FRC2067 (left) and Raybestos FRC2068 (right) (if you or someone moved the calipers to the rear to allow for a sway bar, then swap the numbers accordingly)

Rotors: 14115

Bearings: Inner: BCA A17 Outer: BCA A2 Seal: 5121

Master Cylinder: 11627 (This is a manual brake MC for a police car. It has the same spec's as the Mopar Performance MC).

Brake Pads: MKD84 (OEM on the police cars.. only difference between this and regular pad is it's semi-metallic.

Proportioning valve: Used a Wilwood adjustable. They weren't re-popping the OEM style valves back then.

Here's an excellent article that was researched and written by Richard Ehrenberg and run in Mopar Action magazine many years ago that gives all of the needed parts and their applications for a disc brake conversion using factory Mopar parts. While this disc brake conversion is geared towards those who don't mind using 15" wheels, if you CAREFULLY read the entire article, it will also give very valuable disc brake conversion information to those of you who want to keep your factory 14" wheels.

That's actually the article I used when I did my setup..

Yea, well my Dad converted the convertible to a factory disk brake set-up in 1979. He might've been the first dude on the planet to do it to an old Mopar!

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Funny you say that Jeff. Your dad did it before me, I converted my 67 4 door in 1987 by going to the junk yard with a tape measure and figuring out that I could fit a set of Dodge Aspen brakes in there. I was so inexperienced, after rebuilding the calipers, I swapped sides and couldn't figure out why the brakes wouldn't bleed. Once I figured out the bleeders were pointing down, I decided that calipers were made stupidly. Never dawned on me that I swapped sides. LOL

hello is this article for a 1969 coronet drums to rotors? because i got the spindles from newer coronets i think fifth avenue would the same caliper work?

What year spindles and calipers did the car come off of?
