Capitol Brake said the closest thing they could get to work would be similar to the front rotor on a 77-86. However, the 79 Bronco rotors we had laying around here didnt seem to work, plus they are inboard.

The only thing keeping us from doing this at this point was the rotor. With more $ it's possible to find a rotor and have it machined so it would fit, but then you can't just pick up the rotor at the auto parts store.

However, we were running out of available time, so we opted to drop this conversion using Lincoln brakes.


We broke down and bought the TSM brake conversion for the Ford 9". Cost was $286 plus shipping, plus $35 for two calipers from a bone yard from a 1979 Cadillac Eldorado.

We aren't 100% sure on the parking brake setup yet, but the calipers from the Caddy have the connections for them. It's just going to be a matter of routing them.

We should get the kit today.

We are told the rotors for this are also specially made just for this kit. A rear-end guy here said he doubts that someone would have rotors machined just for their little brake conversion kit, so we will be calling Capitol again with dimensions.
