    buying a factory disc setup from a parts car don`t want to forget anything
    « on: May 14, 2012 - 05:30:32 PM »
    I`m going to look at a front power disc setup off a 72 cuda parts car to upgrade my drums. It`s the same year as mine. I just don`t want to forget anything does anyone have a rundown of everything I should get.
     I know i`ll need the spindles,calipers,rotors, prop valve,master cylinder and booster I`ll grab the brake lines too mostly for reference and replace them with new. How about the rod under the dash from the master cylinder will I need that too? Hopefully someone will let me know if I`m forgetting anything.

    Yep you will need the bell crank assembly off the pedals, as well as the booster support plate off the firewall.

    ...and the caliper brackets, which I assume your just including as part of the spindles.

    I just got back from picking up the brakes off this parts car. I think I got everything that I need. I`m gonna make a new post over at the general mopar section with a list of my haul and a few pics of this poor car I saw.
