    Original Bendix disc brake ?

    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.

    Upper control arm ball joint opening stripped

    Disc break conversion ???

    After reading a couple of the other threads, I have a couple of questions on a disc brake conversion for my 68 Charger: 1. My car will be mostly street and some track. Do the single piston calipers used in the conversion kits and noted from other threads to use from bone yards off of 70’s...
