I'd much rather see more than two photos. I want to see what it looks like in behind the caliper. This is interesting.

I wish they had them out when I converted. Can do a whole lot cheaper that way.

I got a kick outta their post where they state:


"If you set fire to your house when you change your oil, do not bid, as this product involve brakework and if screwed up could kill you."

hey guys,

The anodized caliper adapters arrived and reading quickly through the instructions it seems straight forward with the following notes:
  1. Take the hubs to a machinist and have the hub flange turned down to fit inside the rotor with 0.010 clearance. This centers the rotor to the hub.
  2. Lug studs need to be pressed out and replaced with studs 0.25" longer than stock.
  3. The rotor must sit flush to the hub face. The back of the lug holes may need to be countersunk.

Here is the parts list for your info:

Rotors, 76-93 F150 4x4 (front) - NAPA 4885611, Wagner BD60441, Raybestos 6048R

Caliper, LH - 90-02 Astro Van AWD- NAPA SE4850, Wagner TQM25002, Raybestos RC4418

Caliper, RH - 90-02 Astro Van AWD- NAPA SE4851, Wagner TQM25003, Raybestos RC4417

Brake Hose, LH (front) - 82-83 Pontiac Firebird- NAPA UP38102, Wagner F106368, Raybestos BH38102

Brake Hose, RH (front) - 82-83 Pontiac Firebird- NAPA UP38103, Wagner F106369, Raybestos BH38103

Banjo Bolts (Front, Qty 2 included), 82-83 Pontiac Firebird - NAPA 82703, Dorman PN 13940

Two cotter pins, two hose clips (included). You will need a prop valve.

FYI... use the PNs above for crossover applications. For example, the calipers can be sourced from 95-97 half- and one-ton GM trucks and SUVs.
