Re: Drum brakes to disc brakes 444-544 1959

posted by  someone claiming to be Brett Sutherland on  Sat Sep 15 04:44 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Just a quick caution ... if you are going to install 120 disk brakes on your 544 .... the PRE '66 brakes are different than the '66 and up ... Parts for the '63 to '65 brakes are no longer available so I suggest you try to obtain a '66 or newer set. I ended up having the calipers on my '65 rebuilt .. had to replace the pistons and none were available until my mechanic found a set of CHRYSLER manufactured calipers that had the same size pistons .... and don't ask me what modle they are off because he did not share that secret with me ... I believe that the '66 and up brakes are GIRLING but have no idea what the early ones are.
