Kit: This kit is for the 1979-86 axle with 3/8" studs.
9 inch Ford complete rear disc brake conversion kit includes:
brackets
grade 8 mounting hardware
park brake housing extension
spacer plates
new 11 9/16" vented rotors
Details:
All of our rear disc brake conversion kits use G.M. single piston calipers: These kits use D-154 Pads, have 7 Inch mounting screw spacing, and 1 Inch wide rotors.
If you aren't worried about parking brakes they will work with the front calipers from a 78-83 Monte Carlo. Those looking for the e-brake setup you will need the rear calipers from a 79-85 El Dorado, Riviera, or Tornado along with the short cable extension to allow your exsisting parking brake cables to work .
You may also need to move your shock mount inboard 3/4 Inch.
All kits require the stainless steel hoses to tie into the existing brake system.
Custom hardware needed for the swap is included. This saves in the cost and allows you to locate the additional parts locally (parts store/bone yard.)
The rotors are custom pieces that are readily available for replacement if needed. An adjustable proportioning valve can help to achieve proper balance front to rear.
SIDE NOTE: Our Kits do not use inferior rotors that install on the back side of the axle. With the inferior rotors, axle and rotor have to be installed together which is much heavier and the access holes for tightening the T-bolts are blocked. The studs are also shortened by the thickness of the rotor and only partial splines go into the axle. The studs might turn when the wheel is removed.
