I’ve completed my new disc/drum hydraulic system on my 1971 Super Bee. Rebuilt: booster, master cylinder (stainless steel sleeved), calipers and wheel cylinders (stainless steel sleeved). New: OEM 71 brass proportioning valve and metering valve. All OEM hard lines (not stainless steel). OEM...

I’ve been trying to install one floating caliper with two pins for over an hour!! I am unable to engage the threads on either pin with their corresponding threaded holes in the adaptor plate. It’s been 100x more difficult to get the pins screwed in than it was to remove them. I screwed them...

I have two calipers that came off my 71 Super Bee. Both are marked KH86166. These are Kelsey Hayes, but I don’t know if they are 1971 or another year. Below the KH # is a “312” on one, and “197” on the other. Above the KH is a faint stamping, which I think is the date code. One says “3 40 1...

After installing a new “Right Stuff” FH85 rear brake hose on my 1971 Charger (8.75” rear), I’m concerned about it being too short in length. When the rear leaf springs are almost completely unloaded, the hose appears to be pulled taught like a rope. It’s pulled tight enough that I’m concerned...

What are your favorite lubricants to use on disc brake caliper pins? My pins had a purple colored lubricant on them when I removed the calipers. I’m wondering if it was the Permatex lube in the attached photo? I need to buy some lube for the pins, before I can reinstall the calipers.. The...

After removing my factory single floating piston disc rotors for refacing, I’ve noticed that my inner wheel bearing seals don’t look like the seals I’m seeing for Mopar disc brakes on YouTube. I’ve include photos of my existing seals and photos of a “new” seal that was installed, in a video, on...

My car has Single Piston Floating Calipers up front. When I went to remove the calipers, I discovered the positioners and anti-rattle spring were missing from both calipers. Service manual shows these parts installed. Do you guys have these “positioners” and the anti-rattle springs on your...

Has anyone ordered the prefabricated metal brake lines for a 1971 B-Body from Classic Industries? I need to replace all my lines, and I’m looking for a source to obtain prefabricated lines that will actually fit my car properly. It would be nice to hear from anyone who has purchased brake...

I’m asking people on here that have 1971 Chargers, with factory power disc floating piston brakes, what kind of proportioning/metering valve setup they have on their car? And also, what is the correct factory setup when the car was new? According my factory service manual, it shows that the...

I’m trying to remove the single piston floating calipers from my car, so I can send them off for restoration. Service manual says to first disconnect metal brake line from the hose. Which I successfully did on the driver side. Passenger side is NOT wanting to budge. The fitting nut on the...

I’ve got a Master Cylinder leak that has made my Bendix Brake Booster look like the face of “The Incredible Melting Man”. You can scroll down to the next to last paragraph if you just want to see my question and don’t wanna read any boring history of my car. There was already visible damage to...

Sounds like it should be easy, but I have no idea how to do this. Currently my centerlink is attached and torqued down to the idler arm (I never removed this connection). When I took all this apart, which was 3 months ago, I did the following: To Remove: 1) Loosen driver inner tie rod from...

When I first saw my Super Bee, over a year ago, I noticed the steering column was not horizontally centered in the dash. Way back then I thought, well, that should be fixable.. Looking at it again, now prior to bolting my column back into place, and after consulting my factory service manual...

My attempt at mounting the Borgeson box in a 1971 Charger, has ended in failure. I'm not exactly sure what the hell happened during the process. I attribute this disaster fail probably to having attempted to mount the box to the K-Frame by myself, when I don't have the strength of Braun...

In the process of a Power Steering system replacement, I've encountered some issues with my lower control arm bushings. The rubber part of the bushing is partially torn out of the driver side, and has cracks on the passenger side. Looks like the driver side needs to be replaced, and maybe the...

I have a replacement PS Gearbox that I’m trying to identify, to determine if it is correct for a 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee. I have no idea what car the gearbox came from. Below I have listed the codes that are cast into my replacement gearbox and one shown in my chassis service manual. My...
