Rear disc brake conversion 8.8

[BUBBAS 666]

Found a couple I'm looking into.

I hate drums with a passion and discs are so much easier to deal with.

Anyone done it yet? If so, which one did you go with? EGR makes a kit TSMMFG makes a kit... just trying to get some ideas from what anyone else has used.

I converted mine useing from caliper mounts from the 73/79 dana 44 axle in the F150 and bronco . I made a plate out of 1/4 cut in a circle that fit against the caliper bracket transfered the holes and drilled them then took the 1/4 plate and cut it in half after cutting the 3.something inch hole in the middle to fit the axle tube . I then assembled everything to get the back spacing right for the bracket and tacked the ****** I had made to the axle tube then took everything off and fully welded the bracket to the axle tube at this point I bolted the caliper bracket to my now solid axle mounting ****** and everything else went back on I am also using the front rotors from the same yr trucks havent had any problems with it and it will lock 35/15.5/15,s right up when needed . I have ran that for 3 yrs with no problems and the 1989 bronco its on does not have a proprtion valve and the master cylinder bore is 1 1/16 so no issues there , peddle feels like nothing ever changed except no brake fade . Cheap conversion just need some fabrication skills . /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Its actually powdercoat not paint I built a big oven in my garage to do that stuff . The blocks were a temp thing till I got a set the correct height didnt have any 2 inch and 3 were too high and 1 wasnt enough . Didnt take any pics of the assembled unit afterward I should have /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I bought a whole set up from I think it was circle track. I don't think it is worth the money and effort for what you get. Stops better, but not that much.
