Mounting holes are 3.625”

If the adapter wasn’t bastardized, the original holes look to be right at 3”

based on the fender tag, my understanding was the Bee is an original disc/drum brake car.

Yes, I know the LCAs were restored correctly, just curious how the coloring is holding up, because in the photo (post #13) they don't look so yellowish anymore. BUT, the lighting could be distorting the color.

The angle of the light must be bad, but are the Bee’s LCA still in the cosmoline color? The below pic makes them look dirty. I’m going to paint my LCA in the cosmoline color and hope the coloring holds up. For the ball joints, did you pack them until grease came out? I dread cleaning up...

Ok, that method of measuring is so f’d up. If I hold a ruler straight across the middle of the two bottom holes and then use a tape measure for the up measurement, I get the 3.5” from middle of bottom hole to that flat spot. I thought the Disc Tech article was 3.5” from hole to hole. But...

I’m reading the Mopar Action Disc Tech article, and my adapters measure, center of hole to center of hole, approximately 3.125”. The 3.5” puts it well outside hole center.

The rotor is roughly 11.5” OD and is 0.75” width

Here’s the single piston caliper

From this view, I’m not seeing a PN. Let me guess, it’s on the front?! But I’m also holding up the adapter for fitment idea.

On the one adapter I just now noticed partial numbers. Now I’m wondering if these were jerry rigged to fit since it looks like a lot of grinding has been done. Didn’t even notice before until questions started being asked.

That’s interesting, those brackets/adapters are completely different than mine and don’t appear to have the caliper mounting holes like mine do, nor the U shape where the rotor rides between.

☹️ Never can trust the books out there.

With the front end being apart on my 69 Bee, front disk brake car, I discovered this oddity with the caliper bracket, looks like the mounting holes have been torched open to make bigger. Any body have ideas or know where I can get just these brackets please, or do I need to purchase a new...

Not yellow, but I’m using the red EBC pads on my 69 Bee front brakes. I like the less dust.

You’ll have to zoom in, but here’s a picture from a Mopar restoration book discussing front suspension colors.

Will have to ask tomorrow when I pick it up.

Just dropped the oil pan off today at Coating Specialities.

I just talked with Scott (Beekeeper) and he pointed the obvious I missed, my poly bushings too have the inner and outer sleeves.

Now I understand your post. At the time, I didn't realize pivot arms had sleeves on them, but a Mopar buddy just showed me this morning. Now the lights are coming on. Now to find the LCA sleeves, and get old ones out.
