Looking at the same thing. Although a bit of a mind bender as I've been up since 2, but looks to me that the caliper is mounted so that the bleed nipple will be below where the piston fluid cavity will be. As such you could have a pocket of air at the top of the bleed cavity behind the piston...

You have that right! Just looking up at the bracket it does not look adjustable. Just looks like a bolt on angle bracket with a tab on the back to hold it in place while you tighten. At least on my '71, when you loosen the single bolt, you can adjust the whole bracket where you need it...

Okay here we go. The answer for me at least. After tinkering about upside down trying to get the pedal out of the '73 Dart power disc brake car to swap into the '71 Dart that has the power booster and master out of the '73 now in it I decided to do some measuring. I measured from the...

Okay, have a few shots for you. Keep in mind that the slider hardware and caliper mount have been removed so I could mount the new calipers on the car. They looked the same sort of thing that you have on yours. A 1/2 inch socket fits the bolt that holds the slider hardware on. What you are...

Hi, Look the same as my '73 Dart Calipers. The '73 is a factory disc brake car and is the large bolt pattern disc brakes. The brake hose you have looks the same as well. Has a notched in flat spot where the hose mounts and the banjo type fitting. Just swapped them onto my '71 and got new...

Hi, Thought that might be the case. I'll have to see if the local parts store has the correct stuff then this weekend. Pouring rain now so won't be working on the Dart today. Hope Saturday afternoon to get back to it. Thanks for the tip. Cheers

Ha! Love the pennies thing! I may try bending the tab first. I had pondered the thought of adding something to the pedal front to make it contact correctly. I'd rather not get into trying to swap the whole thing over from the '73. A bit concerned that there is that much less travel on...

I'll have to get the tape out. Was outside in 100 degree heat upside down under the dash trying to see how it all goes together. Looks to me like the brake switch is not adjustable. Just slides in the retainer by the look of it. I thought the pedals might be different. I'll have to take...

Okay, did the brake swap from a '73 Swinger lbp disc brake car onto my '71 Swinger sbp disc brake car. Bled the system and all is well, BUT the wife (no, not changing the wife) doesn't like the feel of manual disc brakes. No problem I thought. Took the master and power booster off the '73...

Just sent you a PM on it. A '73 is large ball joint upper control arm. 1972 back used the same smaller ball joint on both drum and disc. Cheers

Hope these pictures work

Got a question or two on the brakes so thought best to post as well. Just measured the rotors and then called Checker/Shucks/Kragen to see what the specs are. Using my digi calliper in multiple spots I get roughly .815 on both rotors. Pads actually look pretty thick and new also. The info...

1971 Dart Swinger. Did the swap to large bolt pattern discs. Removed the existing disc brakes which are the small bolt pattern 4 piston type. Believe they are called Kelsey Hayes type? Car ran, drove and stopped great, just wanted to go LBP to match the LBP rear end I put under the car...

Ha, ha, ha, thanks for giving me a good laugh everyone! Just what I needed this AM. I had considered that the manufacturer realized that they were mostly bought by people redoing their entire brake and suspension at the same time. As such they were a suspension cotter pin disposal...

Finished rebuilding and refinishing all the brake and suspension pieces ready to do the swap of the '73 Dart lbp disc brakes onto the '71. Bought new calipers. Came with new hardware etc. Nice. Question is they came with two rubber band looking pieces in each caliper box hardware bag. Where...

Thanks for all the clarification. As you can tell, bit thick this end sometimes. Nice to have a board like this one where people are quick to help! Looks like time to get going on it then. Already rebuilt the top arms. Take the rotors to get them turned today and once I've got the bottom...

Thanks for the post. Yes, swapping upper arms, spindles etc. Actually, just took the whole suspension off the '73, going to rebuild it and then bolt everything on to the '71. That way I know what I've got if I need parts later on. The '73 has its proportioning valve on it so I can use...

Thanks for the reply. So did you just swap on a disc brake master cylinder and that was it (assuming you had drums to start?)? I guess I should fill in more just to be sure on my car. Swapped an 8.25 rear in that has the 10" drums on the back instead of the 9's that the car came with...

Okay, got all the disc brake stuff off of the '73 Dart yesterday. Going to clean it up, rebuild it and prepare to put it on the '71 Dart. Thought I'm having and have a question about is this: '71 Dart has manual disc brakes on it now. Swapping to get larger bolt pattern to match rear...
