68 front disc brakes

[TwoBit]

Hi.
Is there mopar spindels-disc brakes that will bolt on to my 68?
Without braking the bank?
Something I can easily get from a bone yard?
I have to use mopar parts!

72-74 disk brakes worked on my 67 Coronet 500.

The problem is twofold location & keeping the cost reasonable.... If it has to be shipped from the US it's gotta be ugly cause brake parts are heavy & bulky...
I'd be looking for 73-76 Dart parts... Which leaves me wondering if Aussie Valiant parts are the same as US A body parts....

Yeah. The shipping will be ugly. Good idea on the Aussie stuff Randy.

A topic that may well be the most discussed on this forum...
I suggest using the SEARCH feature on here. Tons of results about disc conversions!

Like Ed said, this is akin to asking "what color paint should I buy"
I researched this one to death a year ago when doing the resurrection of my 69 RR. None of the local wrecking yards were any help. The cheapest and easiest to obtain option for me was to buy reproduction single puck calipers, spindles and caliper adapters. There are several sellers out there, Dr Diff for instance, and a few on EBAY.
Mine work just fine, and I have a manual master cylinder.

Did some research, it appears 71 was the last year of Aussie Darts based off of US Darts... Mid year 71 and newer are entirely Aussie based so no brake parts from that source....

Back to shipping is gonna make this $$$$
Best option is to get someone who ships containers to throw the parts in with a shipment...

Shipping is No worry parts can be shipped to a CA address and placed in a Can to NZed.
Nope no aussie junk is going on this car!

Thanks, I did do a search, didn't really find anything.probably didn't spend enough time searching.

Dr Diff is probably your best bet.

Dr Diff disc caliper adapters allow you do Disc-O-Tech conversion for a reasonable price, with drum brake spindles. Mopar Front Disc Brake Caliper Brackets 11.75" on Drum Knuckles
