Duster Brakes

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Mar 14, 06 2:07 pm

Hi, I've been rebuilding the front end of the duster, over the winter, new bushes, shocks etc (cosmetic stuff as well but that's another story) anyway I've been putting the brakes back together, could anyone tell me where I could get the copper washers that fit in the banjo? I've been round everywhere local and found nothing that fits exactly.

The Calipers are also looking a bit tired, they are 1 pot and I think they might have come off a '73 but I'm not sure. does anyone sell replacements? I can only seem to find full kits for thousands of dollars...

I do replacement calipers, ranging from ?30 upwards depending on whether they are just the calipers or loaded with pads and pin kits, also the pad quality changes the cost

would need a little more info though

year of vehicle
original engine size
power brakes?

Thats great

I am on a tight budget but I think its probably wise for me to have a fresh set of pads in there as well.

I'll give you a call after pay day...
