frt brakes caliper positioners
« on: June 19, 2002 - 11:08:32 PM »
I have a 1970 Challenger with original front disc brakes, I recently did a complete front end rebuild and was able to get all the parts easy enough, but there are front brake positioning clips that slid onto the caliper pin and compress as the pads wear to take the space on the caliper pin. you cannot spread them back apart ,they snap in two. its like a one time use item, I have been unable yo locate any

I'm also in need of these positioners. Sources with part numbers would be a big help as I haven't been able to find them at Mopar, Year One or the local Napa store.

???

BIG MIKE,

  I appreciate you responding..
 Several friends of mine (Mopar folks) said I don't really need the positioners so I gave up trying to find them.
Since I now have the part# I may go ahead and get the kit.

Thanks!
