I'm somewhat interested in upgrading my rear brakes to disks. I've heard of people fabricating the parts themselves but I'd be more interested in a kit I could buy that would lessen my chances of messing something up.

Is there a decent one out there? Any ballpark figure on prices?

Thanks!

 

Ken, try the search function also, this has been discussed a few times.

 

midwest motorsports. in kc, MO and some other places they sell bracket's to mount a chevy front brake caliper with ford rotors on it all you have to do is weld the bracket on do a little dremel action on the rotor and fab up brake lines work's great takes about an hour to put it all together if you've done it once or twice and costs under $200 for pads calipers rotor's hoses and brackets or at least it does when you use some junkyard parts in there but I know it works great I helped a buddy of mine when he set them up on his rock crawler and then he also put them on his uncle's mudder and his daily driver too

 

Stainless steel Brakes Curie Interprises amoung others. I know some people have tried to adapt stuff only to find out it was a major hassle.

 

Broncogaraveyard.com sells a conversion package. Go to http://broncograveyard.com/products/cat/18/105/22334/60
I always check them for anything you need first because they carry a good variety of oem replacements parts and aftermarket stuff too.

There is another place I forget exactly (tms or something like that) that sells pretty much the same it, it was discused about a month or two ago you might find it in the search.

sorry about the bad link..try http://www.pirate4x4.com/productreviews/disk_brakes/

 

nice link john but where did he get the kit from?? i know it was from blackbird and the guy was randy but i did not see a link to order the kit.
285 bucks is pretty cheap to convert to disc brakes, something i would be interested in doing to mine

SWEET!! Thanks for the LINK!!

I plan on doing this mod over the winter!!

 

That kit was for a D60/70 full floater 8-lug axle.

The site does not have kits for 9" rear axles.

 

Good!! I have a Dana 61 !!
