Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

These brackets are for putting disc brakes on your 10 or 12 bolt pickup rear differential with the 5 on 5 bolt pattern. They are designed to use the '78 and up metric passenger car calipers and Lincoln Mark IV rotors. A list of part numbers will be provided. The brackets are powder coated in gray hammertone and come with grade 8 fasteners. Price is $70.00 shipped to your door in 2 to 3 days. I have 3 sets of these available.

I'll get some installed pics later today.....thanks for the interest.

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Sounds good

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

very cool John!
I assume you build these?
I want some, but ain't ready for 'em yet ;)

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Thanks Joe, Yeah I made these about 8 or 10 years ago, they just don't seem to sell around here. I thought I'd try and sell what I have left on here, and if there seems to be continued interest, I'll make some more. Let me know when you're ready and I can set you up with this style or a different one.

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Ok here are some installed pics of the brackets. One thing I forgot to mention in the first post is that when using this setup you will most likely need to have the flanges of your axles machined down to 6.250" OD. This is needed to accomodate the lincoln rotors. If you have aftermarket axles, I would check them first before assuming it needs to be done. If you don't have a way to get them machined in a lathe, this can be done with an angle grinder, a good hard wheel and some patience. Typically you will need to take off .250" (1/4") of the diameter or .125" (1/8") around the circumference.

Upon setting up this assembly to take pictures today, I discovered a small issue with a reman caliper I picked up today. As I have read in the last couple of years, the castings of the reman calipers can vary from mfg to mfg. This became apparent with the newest caliper having 3 bosses that were interfering with the caliper bracket. This was easily taken care of with a flap disc on a grinder, providing a bit of clearance. Back when I originally made these brackets, I had not run into this issue. As a comparison I have included a pic of an OEM 3rd Gen F- body e-brake caliper.

Let me know if you have any further questions, or if you need to see something not shown in these pics.

Here's a pic of the clearancing done on the reman caliper.

i think this is great production from a stand up guy .i have a set on the way .i will post when they arrive .he provides instant tracking number .very professional.thanks captainfab .a nice way to keep our trucks looking the same but driving and feeling better .:metal::metal::metal::haha::haha::c2::c2::fro::fro:

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Cool!!
Thanks John!!

so with the these calipers, only one has an e-brake?

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

No, I was just showing the two different calipers for comparison. You would have either no e-brakes using the front calipers or both calipers having e-brakes when using rear calipers such as the 3rd Gen F-body or the '83-'87 Eldorado, Riviera, Toronado rear calipers.

TTT :chevy:

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Bump.....

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

BigPimp - Do you have these installed yet?

Captainfab - Are the lincoln rotors the only ones that work, or can you use the actual truck rotors?

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

the truck front rotors won't work, they have a hub built in.....

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

BigPimp didn't purchase these brackets, he bought the Implala SS ones that I also sell

Yes these brackets are designed for the Lincoln rotors. And as Joe stated you can't use the pickup front rotors since the hub is part of rhe rotor

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

captain fab do you still have any of these brackets available. I am in need of a set.

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Nice job on those brackets Capt...

Re: Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Yes I do still have them. Let me know if you want a set. ;)


Thanks Jerry. Your Impala disc brake brackets are on their way. Thanks
