disk brake conversion on my 69 Bee

[rp23g7]

So finally going to have time to do the disk brakes on the 69.

I bought the PST kit, which was from Right Stuff. Any thing I should be wary of?

Anyone else do this? I think when I read the instructions that sometimes you need to mount the calipers, differently, i belive mopar calipers are mounted on the back of the spindl . Correct?

you might want to double check but i think right stuff had a recall on their spindles? someone had a thread here about that problem a few weeks ago the article is still here just check to be sure.

I read that the recall applies to all spindles ordered between Jan. 21, 2014 and Sept. 23, 2014....good luck.

Here is some interesting reading on disk brake conversions.

Hmmm I think i bought them before that

Right Stuff sent out certified letters to everyone who bought spindles in the date range, including those who did not buy them directly from Right Stuff. For example, I got a letter an mine was purchased through DrDiff.

I got my replacements in short order through DrDiff. I'm sure other vendors are the same. I'd drop PST an email or PM and see what they have to say. I'm sure they can look up your purchase date. You don't want to assemble them, and then hear you have to take them off again and start all over. Especially if you've paid for an alignment.

hmmm never got a letter, just looked at a picture I took with them sitting on the workbench, it was taken on Jan 18th.

RSD Power boosters are made for Hemi cars only, dont buy that part of the kit, get the booster and set up from either PST or PirateJack.com PST & priatejack.com sells the right bendex booster and MC setup with bracket and swivel RSD does not be careful.

I did the Right stuff kit conversion to my 69 RR. Manual brakes.

You can read my thread on this with pics and thoughts... I think it starts on page 4 or 5

There are several other great threads on this conversion with good documentation.
