I understand your passion bro! I own 20 cars and trucks. Been married 3 times. They are all gone, but I still have my vehicles! 🤣

I have a 20 ton press. I'll get them apart one way or another! 😊 I've got them soaking in pb blaster now.

OK I appreciate it. I may have to go that route if I can't find the different brackets.

OK cool. Are any of those for sale? Do you have the brackets I need?

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.

What have I done that's sacrilegious?

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? 😜

Oh yeah, and if I rebuilt the original calipers, is the thicker rotor available for purchase?

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...

Challenger RTA, that's an interesting article, but I already have disc brakes. I just need to figure out how to make them work.

Does anyone have any of the brackets that will fit the more common calipers? Do I need to change the rotors as well?

Yes I understand that. I assume you grind metal off them until they fit the caliper brackets?
