RE: Disc Conversion...just that easy?

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I used 74 Dart spindles, hoses, calipers, caliper brackets, backing 
plates, rotors, master cylinder and the prop valve.  Fit like a glove 
with the original control arms.

The rotors are the same as the ones for a 5th Ave or Diplomat and most 
of the Mopars so the junk yards have lots of choice as does the 
suppliers when you get new.

I actually bought new rotors, calipars, pads, hoses and master cylinder. 
 The original Dart equipment boiled down to the spindles, calipar 
brackets, backing plates and prop valve.

The calipers mount on the front of the spindle.
