Disc brakes '71 roadrunner

['71Beeper]

I have just changed my front drums to disc brakes. It has been a battle trying to get the right parts online. I wanted to keep my 14" wheels and succeeded. I can give some details as to what you need for anyone changing to disc on a '71 roadrunner.

Did you use factory parts or aftermarket ?

It could help somebody out

factory stuff ? spindle rotor calipers bearings lines etc. ?

Part #'s ? or where you bought them if you have them
it may help someone too
or another aftermarket deal ?
(nothing wrong with them either, usually require a 15"+ wheel)

I ordered front rotors (Power Stop AR8322XPR) for my '71 roadrunner from Parts Geek. They fit very well. I couldn't find '71 roadrunner spindles so I ordered '71 Satellite. The bearings are larger on the Satellite. I sent them back and ordered '73 roadrunner spindles. They were the same as Satellite. My friend found some bearings (Precision A17) that would work with the spindles and the rotors, The spindles came with brackets. The calipers called out for '71 roadrunner would not work with the brackets. I had to order '73 roadrunner calipers (97-17623A & 97-17623B). Brake pads (Wagner MX-84) Compression lines BHA99069). Thankfully it all worked with my 14" factory wheels with about 1/2" clearance. I will have to transfer pictures from my phone later.
