Caliper Mounting

Q: Caliper Mounting

I am converting my drum brakes to disc on the front of my 1969 and after they have been installed the calipers are hitting the stabilizer bar any suggestions….are the calipers suppose to be mounted toward the front of the car or towards the back…maybe I have them on the wrong sides…..the assembly’s are off of a 72 lemans….

A: The back. You’ve installed them on the wrong sides.

A: I think you answered your own question, the caliper should be to the rear, Don’t fret though , I believe that all you need to do is remove caliper ,backing plate, caliper bracket and switch these parts right to left, The spindle is machined the same right or left this part doesn’t matter.
