1972 Charger SE brakes

[salty_eye9692]

I'm 26, been working on my first Mopar (1972 charger SE) for 8 years (takes a long time while learning and being super broke lol) got the front suspension together finally, after all new bushings, welding plates to the lower control arms, and new torsion bars etc. I have the new calipers and rotors ready to go; new races and bearings, used an "auto packer" to put grease in and filled the rotor cavity with grease to keep it from melting out of the bearings. I go to install the oil seal brand new from Timken. On both rotors the seal isn't a press fit inside the rotor bore. but it does slide onto the spindle and ride like it's supposed to. secondly there is no dust cap for the spindle nut ant lock for the front rotors. Thirdly I don't know think the brake hoses up front are the correct length. factory slide pin style calipers. car was originally a 318-slapstick car the rotors are a hair under 11 inches, so I think they are the 10.87 rotors. the oil seal I have is 1.75 by 2.375. inside bore for the dust cap is 1.790. Also, I have ZERO idea how the brake line routing goes since I bought the car as a decent rolling chassis. so, any pictures of the brake hose routing and brake line routing as well as the plumbing for the brake distribution would be VERY appreciated

TLDR What are the correct oil seals, dust cap, and front brake hoses for my car? And I need pictures of brake line routing and plumbing.

First thing I can tell you is that you do not want the hubs filled with grease. Pack the bearings with grease and coat the inside of the hubs with grease and that's enough. Too much will push out with normal heat and expansion. The auto parts store should be able to help with the correct seals and dust caps. Have you checked on Rock Auto?
Someone else will probably chime in with hose info.
Good luck with your project and have fun with the build! My current project has been ongoing since 2009.

72 is one year only, as is 71.

73 standardized until the end.

72 is a 2 piece rotor/hub with a different bearing than 73 and up.

There is a conversion collar to allow 73 and up rotors on 71/72 spindles.

Not sure about the seal, but makes sense.

AFAIK, 72 rotors are not available except NO$.

As noted above, the first thing you need to know is what brakes you have. Are they original, or a 73 up conversion, or something else?
