Re: More on Disk swap on 72 Gremlin

[farna@xxxxxxx]

All AMCs used Kelsey Hayes pin type brakes from 71-76, even Hornets. Later models used Bendix (Ford used a Bendix type) sliding calipers. 82-83 used a pin type GM caliper, but different than the KH. KH uses pins to hold the pads in, the GM type slides on pins.
