What brakes are these ?

[69roadrunner383]

I put these on my 69 Roadrunner a few years back. Was told they came off a 69 Charger. Apparently there were a few different types of disc brakes offered in 69. Are these Kelsey Hayes ? Thanks for any help.

Bendix. Kelsey Hayes were used on A bodies.

The rotor looks wrong for 66-69 bendix discs. See the square corner on the end of the hub? That's not right, a magnum type wheel center won't go over that hub.

See how much bigger the hub end is compared to the dust cap.

Not exactly sure what these wheels are, or if they are factory, but this is what I have on it now.

Well neve mind, those are magnum 500 and they fit so all is good!

Caliper looks like 69 KH 4 piston to me

The pictured are Bendix brakes which used a four piston caliper. The rotor is an aftermarket one-piece unit. Original Bendix rotors are two-piece and do have a tapered hub. In 1969, B-bodies used Bendix disc brakes, A-bodies used Kelsey Hayes, and C-bodies used Budd.

Great information. Thank you. From all the pics I have seen, the Bendix calipers were all marked on the front. I definitely agree. These look exactly like the Bendix calipers. Is there a reason mine are not marked Bendix?
(This is just a generic pic. I got from the Internet.)

Casting, forging, or stamping numbers can vary depending on production runs, foundry changes, second sources, aftermarket, etc. It's possible yours are from a different production run where they dropped the logo, or from a second source that was not Bendix, so the logo was omitted. Functionally, they are the same though.
