What i have here is a complete, rebuilt Kelsey Hayes 4 piston, disc brake set up that is used on the 1965-72 A body Mopar cars, such as Duster, Dart, Demon, Valiant, and the 65-69 1st and 2nd generation early Barracuda's. It is my understanding that these Kelsey Hayes disc brakes were a dealer installed option starting on the 1965 Barracuda Formula S cars, then became a assembly line option sometime in 1965, and used in 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72.
I recently purchased this used brake system as rebuildable cores, from a member on this forum, for me to rebuild, and then put up for sale, to be put back into use, all over again.
It's been very hard to find parts like this anymore, in this day and age.
These are the 4 inch, small bolt pattern brakes, so you don't have to ask me that question.
That's what all the early A body cars were, disc, or drum, brakes.
This brake set up officially started it's life on a 1971 or 1972 car, as all the lug nut studs are for right hand threads.
I have spent a lot of time finding this equipment, or taking the time to bust this stuff off a car out in the field, if anything can be found, cleaning everything up, rebuilding the calipers, and finding and buying all the rebuilding parts.
This is what i do as a retired professional auto mechanic, on my own time, to keep me busy, and have something to do, during the day. I rebuild disc brake components, upper, and lower control arms for these old Mopar cars. Shop labor rates where I'm at are $150.00 + dollars an hour. If i charged you one half that rate it still would be low. I don't work for free, or go to the grocery store, or gas station, or pay my rent, without working to pay the bills. If you factor in what it took me to firstly buy these parts, cleaning them up, doing all the rebuilding, buying the new parts. You try it and see what rotors, brake pads and hoses, rebuild kits, pistons in the calipers, caliper hard lines, bearings, races, seals, and everything else, will cost you. I have already done all the hard, dirty work for you. I can guarantee you, if you purchased someone's parts for $400.00 or more you will be into them for lots of money that i have just described.
OK, Here's what you are getting with this set up. This set up required lots of parts for me to bring everything back to life.
New Rotors.
Caliper Rebuilding Kits
5 New Caliper Pistons. The others are in excellent shape, and did not require replacing.
1 hard line on a caliper required replacement.
1 Bearing & Race.
Both Brake Flex line Hoses from the calipers to the body of the car.
Raybestos D-11 brake pads from the good old days, 1975, when parts were of good quality.
4 new lug studs on one of the rotors.
All but one of the bolts are 100% all original with the proper machining style to them.
Gravel shields, Spindles, with all the necessary mounting bolts are all there.
What you will need to purchase at your local parts store is your own DISC Brake master cylinder for this set up, whether you buy a new one, or rebuilt one, is up to you. It will depend on if you plan on using these parts for power disc brakes, or just manual brake.
And a disc brake proportioning valve.
A good used one can be found, and or repop ones are available from some aftermarket vendors.
Or, adjustable aftermarket ones are another option.
Also you need to purchase new DISC brake lower ball joints if your car needs them as disc brake ball joints attach to the spindles using 9/16 inch bolts where drum brake car ball joints used 1/2 inch diameter mounting bolts. Or have a machine shop drill your existing Drum brake ball joints, out to 9/16, if they already are in good shape.
>>>>> Now please read this about all the fine print about these parts.<<<<<<
I expect that you know how to work on brake systems on your car if you purchase all these parts from me. You need to know how to install brakes, bleed brakes, maybe bend and flare a brake line or two, and know what the heck you are doing on a changeover such as this. You must have a working mechanical knowledge, knowing what your doing.These parts are being sold as is, even though they are rebuilt components. After all, these things are 50 + year old parts.
Once they leave here they are your's. No returns. I haven't had any complaints from my internet clients,that i sold rebuilt upper, and lower control arms, and various other style calipers for the old Mopars, and all the other brake set up's that i have sold to my customers. Everyone has been a happy camper.
>>>>>Now please read this about shipping and my handling charges.<<<<<
Since all these parts are very heavy, this is what i will do on packaging everything up, and sending them out to the buyer.
The cheapest, and probably the best way for me to do this, is thru the USPS in their large priority flat rate mail boxes, using four of them.
I will do this for $125.00 anywhere in the continental USA.
That will include insurance on each of the packages, and signature delivery when your mailman, knocks on your door.
I want to send to residences where somebody will be home when your mailman drops by, on his or her delivery route.
No, porch pirates, or thieves, on your street following the mailman's truck around.
Selling everything at $900.00 plus the shipping to your zip code.
That's my price, no "offers" "trades for other parts" or services.
Send me an e mail pm message thru this forum, for any other information, questions.
Payment will be the good old fashioned way, by postal money orders, or a cashiers check from your bank, or i guess i could accept Pay Pal payment, friends or family.
Your choice, whatever you want to do. I will leave that up to you.
You have questions, need to talk, do it with me in a private message on this forum, and i can give you my e mail address, phone number, for personal conversation.
Thank's a lot.
