Hi there. Been reading your threads and decided to order a couple of sets of those drop spindles No problems . However. That site you recommended  for the Cordoba rotors and caliper brackets has been removed. Can purchase the rotors no worries but can"t seem to come up with the caliper brackets.  Any idea's Thanks TJ

I got my rotors and caliper brackets off of eBay. I wouldn't be surprised if a quick search turned up the rotors, that company probably just changed their ad. As far as the brackets go, they seem to show up on eBay all the time too, they usually go for $100 or so. But they can also be found on quite a few of the later mopars, so doing your own wrecking yard diving should work too. :working: Plus I bet the wrecking yards let them go for a lot less than $100, which is probably why so many show up on eBay in the first place.  ;)

Here's a list of vehicles that use the same 11.75" rotors from the factory (not the end all be all, but a reference by part number), so they should also have the right caliper brackets. Keep in mind there are two types, the pin type and the slider type. Sliders are stronger (better for racers) but the pin type should allow you to use your stock calipers. Otherwise you'll have to get a set of those too, although they're easy to find.

What did you do about the brake line routing?
I have the stainless braided lines on slider calipers and the solid line off the Caliper hits the upper ball joint stud and nut.
Think it's ok to take the tube bender to it?
Or should I be mounting the Caliper to the rear?

The routing was a little interesting, but I don't recall a solid line on my calipers. Although, I have the pin type on my car. If it's a regular hard brake line I don't see why you couldn't bend it a little to get some clearance though. Mounting the caliper to the rear is an option, but keep in mind you'll have to swap the spindles side for side to do that. And you may end up with the bleeder screw in a less than favorable spot (ie, not on top).

On the slider caliper hose there is a 3" solid line to a mounting block.
I got my tube bender out and did some carefull rerouting,. I was worried that i might break the connectionat the mounting block.
All looks good now.

There are some applications and part numbers that do not have that 3" of solid line. That will work. Might be off an F-body or something. I'm pretty sure it's not the hose for 73-76 A-bodies with disk brakes.

Thanks for that, I had these made up for the Challenger last year.
I got it to work out on this one, but next time I will order lines for a later style.
What car are you taking out to Spring Fling?
I am flying out to see the Racing next month, I cant wait.

No way. That's from years ago. Are you really not bringing it out?

Yes, I'm bringing my 68 340-S barracuda.

The cuda just doubles as a moving van at times  :lol2:  The pic is from fall 1997 when I graduated from collage. Most of the suspension is the same as now. I broke the K-member on the way out.  :22yikes:
