69 front disc brake q's, advice needed

[resq302]

I have a restored/rebuilt set on my charger and the stopping power is phenominal compared to the drum type system in my opinion.  Back then, disc vs. drums were night and day and still is better but granted, its a night and day difference compared to the disc brake systems of today.  But then again, cars of today do not have the style that they did back then either.

I also have a bedix 4-piston factory setup that I restored.
I have to agree with resq302, the stopping power vs the drum is amazing. You will absolutly notice the difference.

My calipers were rebuilt by calipersonline, they did an excellent job on them. I recommend them, they are pricey but they are redone with all new parts and they get a stainless steel sleeve along with a lifetime warrenty.
I tried rebuilding mine with one of those yearone kits that has all the rubber seals, but they still leaked so they had to be sleeved.
I bought my rotors from yearone part # bn144.
Put new bearings in and thats all I really needed.

Sounds like you have available everything you need, so go for it.

I've got a question regarding the booster gaskets, are they in the right order and does that clear plastic thing belong there? I haven't seen it before on other Bendix booster pics and it kinda interferes with the other gaskets.

[resq302]

Yes, that clear plastic, often yellowed, piece should be on there.  It is like a debris / dust catcher to prevent stuff from getting inside the booster.

Thanks Brian, so all the gaskets in the pic are in the right place including the white one between the clear plastic and the booster?

Id have to double check with the way it is on my charger , but I seem to think that the direction of the metal plate needs to be flipped around 180*.  The gaskets, I think they are right but it has been such a long time since I put them on.  Its either the white one that gets sandwiched between the reinforcing plate and the booster or it goes between the plate and the firewall.   Not 100% sure at this time.

The metal plate came of off my Charger the way it sits in the pic and does not fit any other way on the firewall so I'm sure that is the correct way.
Thanks for your help.
