Tom Condran Brake Up Grade

[dana60]

Ok, I have changed my front drum brakes to Discs brakes on my 1970 Barracuda. I used Performance Handling For Classic Mopars by Tom Condran as my source. I had all the parts on the garage shelf for the past 14 years and I just got around to it last weekend. ( i know, I am a Procrastinator ).  My question is for those of you have done this up grade, where do I get these clips ( see picture, ) for the pin type caliper? Also where do I get the brake hose and fittings for the caliper? Thanks all,

You can get them here http://www.rosevillemoparts.com/index.php/brake-brake-kits/master-cylinder-valves-push-rod-pedal-pads/brake-brake-kits/master-cylinder-valves-push-rod-pedal-pads/cPath/219_220/sort/2a/page/3

What is the purpose of those clips?

Don't forget the spindle nut retainer and cotter pin.

Who or what is a Tom Condran disc brake up grade?
Looks like the Mopar Action upgrade using factory parts?

Guess he is a legend in his own mind.

Not like we are talking about Dick Landy....

So is it different/better than this, which came out in the 80's?

In the early to mid Nineties, Mopar had a front disc brake kit that eliminated the anti rattle clips and bar.

The screw in bolts went right to the end and there wasn't a need anymore for the wire bar.
These screw in bolts were shorter than the  originals.

The one requirement was that the disc brake pads had a separation line half way thru.
