Ok lol. Don't get me wrong. I love Mopars. They are beautiful cars. But I like anything from the mid 50s all the way to the mid 70s. I just like saving old cars. They were very cool!
I'm betting that the caliper brackets are different in those 2 pictures. Here's a picture of the part number on mine: KH83525. There's a set for sale on ebay that are KH90425. I bet those are the ones I need.
My 80012 calipers came off the brackets and the 86166 calipers won't go back on. Someone else here suggested that I modify them (grind them) to fit.
However, I'm thinking that if I can find a set of the correct brackets, I can swap them out and the 86166 calipers will work. That's why I'm...
Here's an interesting twist. Turns out that the calipers I got off ebay are KH 86166, which means they are the calipers used after the wide mouth ones. So I guess all I need is a set of 71 caliper brackets and I can bolt these on.
Anyone got a set?
Well, I'm not a Mopar guy (sorry guys) and I promised Larry that I'd take it back to Iowa and let him drive it one more time. So I'm going to get it running and driving, add a few upgrades, take it back to Iowa, then sell it. Any takers? 😜
Wow, are you grumpy or what? I hope everyone on here isn't like that.
1. I realize that you guys don't know me so here's some history : I'm 59 years old, been working on old cars since I was 14. I'm perfectly capable of fixing this car and/or rebuilding the calipers.
2. Since the pistons are...
Ok, so I have super rare "wide mouth" calipers. Apparently they don't exist, and when they do, they are hundreds of dollars.
1.Where can I find new pistons for them?
2.Do they take a special rebuild kit?
3.Where can I find bolt bushings for them?
