More caliper Q`s
« on: December 27, 2009 - 05:07:36 PM »
Ok,I have two different length caliper pins that came with mt `72 setup and need to know which one is correct.Also I need to find some positioners as I only have two for the `72 setup and none for the `73 setup which is going on the Duster.The `73 set up also has all four of the shorter length pins,I`m confused again!  :pullinghair:  Also on the `72 set up the inner(larger bushings) only have a shoulder on the outside while the new bushings I bought have shoulders on both sides?

Positioners? Do you mean these?  They are for the longer pins. Seen on 70-72's

Pins are still available if you want to replace them. NAPA also sells the rubber hardware. In fact complete calipers.

 I know the 70 has the longer shoulder.  How many years afterwards??

 The bushing retainer clips (if original) should tell which one fit your year. Just a slight compression on the clip when tightened, otherwise they will break at the pivot.

 I hear the clips are difficult to find these days. Do you know a source? :popcorn:

There are 2 types of clips. The flat faced one's and the one he shows that has a cupped/domed area. I posted the clips already that are repro'd.
Were they not the ones?

 I swapped out one caliper way back when and have both cupped and flat. I think the flat clips look to be 70 vintage. Nice pieces, "UP" imprint and all.
Thanks for the link.  :thumbsup:

 My thought is the double flanged pin bushings were used 73 up instead of the clips as that would hold them in place. :clueless:

That was what I was thinking-the `72 has the longer pins and the positioners with the one flanged bushing and the `73 has the shorter pins and no positioners and the double flanged bushings,yes?

If so anybody have a couple  spares to sell me instead of me paying $35.+shipping for a set.  :22yikes:
