FMJ Calipers

[72DartSwingerV8]

Are they supposed to mount up front or back? I think that back looks better but looks don't matter if you can't bleed them. Any help?

i believe they mount to the back but, its the hose routing that will trip you up.
IIRC.

The FJM calipers are a slightly larger bore than the A body calipers. You will get more braking force (good thing). The calipers can mount front or back. Just switch them to the other side of the car to keep the bleeder screws at the highest point.

I put mine in the back, and used braided stainless lines. Just get the corect length so they don't bind up when you turn the wheel.

ALright, I guess I'll try it out on the back. Isn't braided pretty expensive though? I will try to make do with the original lines.

I think mine were about $40. a pair. Been four years or so, so they may have gone up.
