" Our 72 Hornet's got the KH disk brakes. Had a leaky caliper, so I
" got new calipers, hoses, shoes, etc. (The leak turned out to be a
" loose hose! but the calipers looked end-of-life so I changed them
" and the hoses anyways).
" 
" Everything was available, and inexpensive -- I even had a choice
" of organic vs. metallic pads -- except the rotors, which are
" special order and either $111 or $200 -- EACH!! Yow!  Luckily
" these are just fine, and still 1/4" of pad, smooth, no grooves,
" etc.
" 
" Strange situation, that.

not so strange -- the calipers are also used on many mopars but the
rotors are amc-only.
