Post a pic of them and we'll see.

Contact Craig @mobileparts He is the man with the brake parts!

Craig is the best!

So one that looks like this? Pic from NAPA.

Went for it. One rotor is to thin to turn and the other is ok. Will see if I get two new or just the one. Arrived today. Got them for $400 + shipping. Thanks all!

Thanks all, for all the advise and info. Also heard from a friend to use http://calipersonline.com/ to get the calipers rebuilt. Probably will go forward with the deal. Awaiting for measurements from the seller on the rotor thickness. Will let you know where I land on this.

Hi All, I'm working on as close to a OEM restoration as I can do on my 68 charger R/T. I have an opportunity to buy a complete late 60's Bendix front disc brake set-up for what I think is a reasonable price. Complete = booster, master, lines and hoses, spindles, rotors, calipers, proportioning...

Thanks everyone. I spoke to a local guy who is a wealth of knowledge while getting feedback here, and before I could even ask about welding them he said to just weld them in – a couple of tacks is all that is necessary in the corners. So I went ahead and put a bout a ¼” long weld at each...

Installing the upper ball joints into my control arms and both sides appear to be stripped on the control arm. :icon_frown: The ball joint just spins when it gets all the way in. I’ve seen on some threads that you can weld the ball joint in. With the ball joint spinning, is it still ok to...

And what would that be? Service manual doesn't mention that.

After all that marching in the Army I got the left and right stuff down pat!

OK great, thanks! Got the L & R down but wasn't sure of the front and back.

Service manual doesn’t say anything about it, but are there a front and a rear to torsion bars? If so how do you tell?

Thanks for all the advice everyone! I took them into a local spring shop to have them checked out. Factory arch is 6” measured from the centerline between the two eyelets & mine were not far off. Estimate was $40 to have them re-arched and they would be done in a couple of hours. 30 minutes...

OK thanks. I understand why the springs are different / and the torque application to the right spring. However, in my mind I would think the dimension I measured on the right leaf would be the same or larger (more arch in the spring?) on the right compared to the left based on the torque on...

As I’m dissembling my leaf springs for my 68 Charger R/t for rebuilding, I need to ask the questions if the springs are ok. I ask this for two reasons. 1st when I flip the springs upside down (arch up) and measure from the stack bolt point on the spring to the floor below I get 7” on the...

OK thanks a bunch. I presume the bars were painted the colors mentioned above? Do you or anyone have a paint color / number for the brown ones?

In the parts manual for 68 it list part number 1857 780-1 for a 426, 440 engine. What is the bar diameter for these bars? It also list part number 1857 778-9 for a Charger. I presume a Charger with a 440 would require the 1857 780-1 bars? Now that I’ve cleaned up things a bit I see I have...

Thanks for the advice.

As I’ve been working on my 68 charger, I’ve removed the torsion bars to replace some frame parts and the car is up on jack stands. I need to put the car back on the ground to roll it around. Can I get away with not putting the torsion bars back in to just roll the car around? I would need to...
