Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: More on Disk swap on 72 Gremlin

Hi John, the crappy Bendix four piston caliper setup was used by AMC from 65 
thru model year 1971. In 72 the superior Kelsey Hayes single piston setup 
was used, and for later models I believe starting in 1979, Bendix was tapped 
again, but had improved the setup. There is a link on my website under 
"parts" as to how to change over, which many people do on their 65-71s, for 
two reasons, safety is the main concern. And availability of parts is the 
other. I may add I don't deduct points on cars that have upgraded to KH 
setup either, but don't deduct for Bendix either. Just a choice, but have 
never had any luck with Bendix brakes on the earlier models, the whole bayou 
behind my house is filled with those calipers and rotors, and also Borg 
Warner AT trannies, which I also dislike. My preference however, others may 
vary!
