Rear Disc Brake Brackets

[powerbench]

Does any one that has done this swap have a set of lincon rotors that they can measure up for me...I bought some caddy rotor and turned down my axles to fit , but would like to know if these brackets would work for me, or i'm i going to have to make my own...thanks

Those look real nice on there Bill. Would you mind telling us where you got your braided stainless brake hoses?

Thanks for the pic and the kind words

Thanks for the comments, I used stop flex hoses from classic tube p/n# SBH9012
and 90 degree side swing banjo bolts worked real well,very easy install. Hope this helps

thanks guys i'll go down stairs here in a bit and measure up my disc's.....i kinda made up( what i think i need as far as measurments...would rather use something made properly, than some clap together thing i could make with no machine shop..

Ok after i checked my old receipts and rechecked this site...mine are for and 78 Eldorado, i was trying to find a set of factory backing plates, but to no luck...i think i'm half an inch to small in diameter and a bit thicker...

Yeah, those Eldo rotors are .50" smaller in diameter, .150" deeper, and .250" thicker. They definitely wouldn't work in place of the Lincoln rotors.

Powerbench, these brackets should work fine with the caddy calipers, in the pic I posted I am running 82 monte carlo front calipers which are the GM small caliper design and so is the caddy caliper but with park brake provisions. hope this helped. But if you still need measurements let me know what you want measured, my rotors are from a 76 Lincoln Mark IV Thanks Bill

Which Caddy rotors do you have? Here is a link to a site where you can find dimensions on the Lincoln rotors. You can also fint the exact measurements on your Caddy calipers so you can compare them.
