Bendix 4 piston brakes.

[roger440]

My 69 RT/SE came with the 4 piston bendix setup.

Like the rest of the car, they are need of repair.

Who can supply parts for them or alternatively, who restores them?

Also, my discs are not great but will clean up with a skim. What i cant find if the minimum thickness dimension for the discs as i think they may have been done before more than once.

i dont want to change to something else as this is a full restoration, mostly to original spec.

I would be curious to know as well. On a 68.

Thanks,

The 69 Discs are not supposed to be cut according to the FSM. That being said they are good for 1 or 2 depending how deep you have to cut to clean them up. There is a great place up here in Ontario. Anything me or others I know have sent to Stainless Steel Brakes usually leaks. The pads are around but not that plentiful. Chryser doesn't make them anymore....I heard someone is but don't know who. NOS is what I had to buy last time (ouch).

Alretta Truck Parts located in Framingham, Massachusetts has the pads and NOS Brake Rotors. Year One sells the repro unicast rotors right hand thread wheel studs only.

Good Luck

Thanks for the info!

Maybe time to upgrade and put my stock stuff away!

Same as what has already pretty much been said.  I had to go NOS for discs and pads with mine.  With the amount I drive it I should be okay for some time now but like maxwellwedge says, "ouch".

This is why I am getting a complete second set up for my car.  For the just in case....

[Ghoste]

I have some extras now too for "just in case".

The rotors you say Alretta truck parts have that are NOS.....  Do you mean NOS in original Mopar boxes etc or are they the repro ones made by durabrake? Durabrake makes just the rotor portion of the original 2 piece design.  I am having an issue now where they are hitting the calipers in the hub area and have to be machined. The original rotors are stepped down in the hub area to clear the calipers for good reason.

Where did you get your rotors from? Ive seen the yearone rotors, but they are are 1 peice so didnt really want to do that. If NOS is that rare i might have to and keep my old ones.

Am i right that you have to do machining to fit the yearone rotors. What do you machine.

Above is their ad.  I bought them... these are the rotors only....you must use your old original mopar hub...and the issue I am having is the hub area is not stepped down enough to clear the calipers...machine shop is working on now.  The repro one piece ones have the same problem after talking to those that have them. Original rotors are stepped down in the hub area to clear the calipers. Both kinds of repros..one piece or two piece are not and will hit the calipers just enought to require machining.

You would think the manufacturer would rectify this problem especially due to the steep cost!

Roger440, the ones I have I found at swap meets.  There is an NOS set on the car and I have an excellent pair of used ones for backup.  I also kept the originals from the car in case of dire emergency but they are pretty bad.

Sounds like a plan! Might put my originals away (which would be OK with a skim, but maybe too thin) and buy a set of 2 piece repros.
