1969 Bendix Disk Brake Pad Manufacturers

[5hunert]

Has anyone bought brake pads lately for the 1969 disk brake setup?  I'm looking for front pads and it appears that the usual suspects (Wagner, Raybestos etc) don't have a listing.  The only ones I can find are made by someone I've never heard of, CENTRIC Part # 10200190.  Is anyone aware of a different supplier, or have experience with the Centric pads?

If you have the Bendix calipers, that C-TEK part you listed is the ticket.

At least they worked perfectly for my '68 disk brakes.   

I got'em from Rock Auto.

Thanks HeavyFuel.  Rock auto is were I found these - even my local Napa couldn't help.  I was hoping to find an organic to preserve my rotors, but I guess I'll go with what is available.

That is a good point about the rotors......I never thought about that.   


Hopefully when I get to the point of worn out rotors, there will be repos available.   Fat chance.

They allready are.
Do a GOOGLE search, contact, a company named Dura Brake.

Well, I ordered the CTEC pads from Rockauto, along with brake hoses.  Funny thing, Raybestos still makes the hoses which are real oddballs.  I can't imagine the hoses fitting any other application.

?, since they reline shoes, can they reline the rotor pads as well.

I got Reilly calipers as well.  How have yours worked?  They looked like new (not rebuilt).  I'm having to re-use my old cross bolts, but otherwise they look great.

No need to do that in this case....the C-teks work great.

My calipers are the re-maned ones from A-1 Cardone.   I wasn't sure  how they were going to work out, bad stories out there.....but so far, so good.      I also had to use some of the original bolts and hardware from the original calipers.

Lots of company's can do that.
I used this company in the past, before pads became available, again.

I was lucky enough to find some NOS rotors and pads for mine before the repro stuff was available.  Pricey but I needed them bad.
