Disk brakes for 70 challenger w/ 14 in wheels

[Bob70challenger]

Hello all, I’m looking to change to front disk but running into a problem finding a conversion kit for 14 inch wheels. I would like to have 15 inch wheels but unfortunately mine came with 14 so that’s what I got. Really don’t wanna have to buy all new tires and mags.I simply cannot find a kit out there that will work on 14 inch wheels. I miss my opportunity a while ago to buy a complete disc brake setup off of another 70 Challenger that had 14 inch wheels. so if anybody out there is selling anything that would work for me or know of a decent conversion kit that would fit 14 inch mags that would be great. Thanks Bob

If you can find a 1980's Aspen or Volare, the complete setup will work for you.

Doctor Diff should be able to set you up with what you need. FWIW I’d consider using all Mopar sourced parts. The Mopar stuff works well together.

Good info above. The drum spindle if I recall needs a sleeve over it. Yours being a 70 drum the rotor bearing is different the 72 and up. Unless you change you spindle too. Then using all the components from 72 and up. Figure out the way you want to go before buying anything.

I have the same problem with my resto project regarding the 14" wheels and wanting discs on the front. I am finding MANY manufacturers are coming out with conversion kits they say work with 14". Here are a couple I have found. Some require that orders come from dealer, so you may need to ask for a favor from a local place! In some cases the kits might be available from various sources.

MBM Brakes has a kit by OE Quality - DBK6272-MP-203 1962-1972 Mopar B & E Body Standard Front Disc Brake Conversion Kit ( Charger, Challenger, Coronet) w/ 8" Dual Zinc Booster Conversion Kit w/ Adjustable Proportioning Valve

There is also a OE Quality kit part # DBK6272 that does not include the booster or prop valve pieces, and can be purchased on eBay from Auto Parts Direct 4 You (I am leaning toward this one due the seller being just a couple hours from me!) - Front Disc Brake Conversion Kit for B & E Body Dodge Charger Plymouth 1962-1972 | eBay

Performance Suspension Technologies is selling a kit by LEED Brakes, and you can also find out more info about this kit on the LEED Brakes website - https://p-s-t.com/i-23162311-front-manual-disc-brake-conversion-kit.html

Summit Racing is selling a kit by Classic Performance part #CLP-6374CBK-S. Note some info about the kit says it works with 14", some says otherwise! - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/clp-6374cbk-s
