Lockheed or Bendix calipers - '79 Spider
« on: July 17, 2023, 09:41:30 AM »
Morning all, just ordering front disks / pads and the spec says it's for Bendix front calipers only. Looked at brake pipe sets and it says its for Lockheed front calipers.

If there really are 2 different calipers fitted then I need to take the wheels off and check, but wanted a sanity check first. Are there really 2 options fitted or is this just some dodgy product information?

All the calipers are the same (Bendix) AFAIK.

Hi John

I have had 5 sets from cars from 76-81 and all the same.

On the disks/pads, make sure you compare them to original before cleaning etc and fitting.
