1969 Dodge Dart with 14" Cragars with small bolt pattern, I want to install disc brakes on the front with this set up. Who would you recommend that makes a bolt on kit?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure those Cragars work with factory disk brakes. So you could buy a 67-72 Kelsey-Hays set-up from a seller on FABO — I see them pretty often. This has the advantage of being all Mopar OEM and you can find replacement parts for it under "69 Dart w/ factory disc brakes".
Factory Kelsey Hayes 4 piston caliper brakes fit just fine.

I agree with mvh and RRR. The factory Kelsey hayes disc brakes 4" bolt pattern will work fine with crager SS wheels. Excellent choice, I love the look by the way.
kh stock disc brake stuff 65-72 a body or we did 14's on a ssbc kit on this duster with 10'' drums , but had to glue the weights in a area were the caliper didn't hit the weights . but it was 14x7 u.s. indy slotted mags
oh ya the ssbc calipers use factory d11 brake pads , 65-72 a body and early mustang disc's use the same pads , even the early shelby mustangs .
Cool Duster!
I'll have an all there, 100% complete, Rebuilt disc brake set up for the 65-72 cars, next week sometime.
Waiting on some parts to finish it up.
Keep your eye on the for sale section, if your still interested.

Pirate Jack has a rear disc kit, won't clear 14 wheels, ask me how I know
Probably single piston calipers. Other than more pistons for more braking power, more (smaller) pistons also make for a smaller caliper. Look at the new Brembo's. Lot's of small pistons, lots of power, and just a bit bigger than the rotor. It all has to fit inside the rim.

Hello gents. Just working through the small and big bolt pattern quandary and I noticed that the SSBC brakes still offer the dual pattern rotor. So the other option to put discs up front is the kit from them.
