bendix brake pads

[XS29LA47V21]

received quote, cheaper than the last several pair of originals.  They claimed they are "reverse engineered" which I suppose most repops are..  Had a friend mention he heard on a thread elsewhere that they had to be milled a little for the caliper to clear somehow.  Would kinda like to know that prior to buying new (although it is ...new and 2013 available  ).   Anyone used these with good or bad luck?  Thanks.

Many years ago, Frank Mitchell, (Mitchell's Motor Parts) reproduced a one piece rotor for the Bendix, 66-69 B body Mopar cars.
There was rumor going around, that in some way, the rotor had to be "machined", or that the bottom of the caliper had to be ground in a minor way, for clearances.
Dunno.
I had a pair of his rotors, and when i rebuilt a Bendix set up, that i had, and sold it off. I never noticed any clearance problems anywhere.

But if your going to be buying rotors from Dura Brake, it will be a rotor only, (no hub) and you will be using your original hubs onto the new rotors.
Just like the factory two piece rotors.
Just my   on this subject.

I got repop 1 piece rotors from YearOne, not sure if I need to grind the pads to get them on the repop rotors or not, I know I had a difficult time trying to get them installed on the rotors, and finally gave up deciding to let the brake shop worry about it when I put new brake lines on.  

I also have a set of brakepads that came with a pair of rebuilt calipers a few years back, they fit the calipers fine, but keeping the pads spread enough to get them onto the rotors was a pain, enough that I decided to put it off till later .  I'll go out to the garage and get the brand and part number, and add it to the post in a little while.

Part no:  AXXIS Centric 107.00190  replaces 731-D18 (made in Australia)
 

On a side note, I have a extra set of 69 bendix calipers on the garage shelf.  would probably need rebuilding and cleaning.

Thank you.  For the subject car, being a factor disc brake car I am compelled not to change from factory....  I did on my beater driver RTSE end up using mid 70's A body disc brake a friend of mine hooked/set me up with and they continue to work fairly well.
