I'm doing a disk brake swap on my '64 Polara, using the tech article at http://www.moparaction.com/Tech/archive/disc-main.html I just bought pin-type caliper brackets from a yard out of state. I asked them three times to include the caliper attaching bolts, and of course they forgot... The brackets are the pin type, from a '77 Dodge Charger.

My question is, are the caliper bracket attaching bolts on my spindles (from a '73 Dart) the same bolts as the ones on the Charger? Or does anyone have extra caliper attaching bolts from a '76-'79 b-body (76-78 charger/fury 77-78 monaco 76-79 cordoba 78-79 magnum)?
 
Are we talking about the bolts that attatch to the spindle and the caliper adapter goes to that? If so, they are 1/2 inch fine thread about 1.5 inches long. Use grade 8 bolts and loctite then torque them to 100ftlbs. I think this is what your asking, if not post a pic so we can get the right info to ya.
 
Ace hardware had the somewhat hard to find large, fine thread bolts I thought I needed, along with nylon ringed locknuts.
Turnred out I didn't need them, but nice to know where to find them.
