Bought and fitted a front end disc conversion, servo etc. for my 69 Charger, which works fine :) apart from the pads rattle around :( .The calipers are part number 4103 and 4104, single pot.Any ideas what these calipers are also fitted to so I can order a spring kit.Have phoned MBM , but they can't tell me.
Cheers

Look like '73 up A body single piston calipers to me, same as '73 up B body I believe.

Yes I think they are probably the slider calipers as opposed to the pin-type.
Is this them? (RAYBESTOS Part # RC4104)

Did you tighten the outer shoe retainer flange with a hammer so the outer shoe is a tight fit on the caliper?

Thanks people, those do look like the calipers I have - tried the bendy flange method (that sounds rude dunnit!), but doesn't seem to work, but will try again, maybe able to get them a bit tighter, may have bent them the wrong way.
But what are the elastic bands for? I have put some round the outer pads, but they still rattle.
Have all the other parts, so will have another try.
The kit works really well for normal driving - locked the brakes up at my mates the other day and all 4 wheels locked and the car stopped straight, as it should.
Thanks
