69 Charger 4 Piston Caliper Brake Pads - Are they available?

[Aero426]

Does anyone know of a source for brake pads for the four piston calipers that fit a 69 Charger?

Thanks

I sold my calipers because i couldn't find pads.

You gotta dig, and you gotta pay, but they are still out there.  Getting mighty hard to find though.

I think I know where they ended up.     The pads are still out there but are getting really hard to find.  I think I got one of the last sets Kanter Auto Products had as they dont even have them listed in their catalog anymore.  The ones I got contain asbestos.  At Englishtown, NJ (mopar atlantic nationals) this year, there was a guy that had the pads there and they were asbestos also.  Don't remember how much they were though.  One thing I do know is that semi metallic brake pads will really wear away your rotors fast which is why I kind of prefer the asbestos but if the semi's are the only thing available now, if you can find them, get them since you probably will not be putting that many miles on your charger.

Another suggestion was that White Post Restorations can reline your existing pad backing plates, if you have them.  $30 per wheel seems like a good deal considering they are close to unobtanium.

Interesting.... I was not aware that White Post Restos did that type of service also.
