Cobra 9" rear disc brake conversion brackets!

Looking into rear disc brake conversion on my 76. Currie enterprises has brackets for 94-98 rear cobra brakes (calipers have built in parking brake). I have a spare set for my race car sitting on my bench so I might as well. I can have someone locally redrill the lugs to 5-5.5 and have the center clearanced for the axle hub. My new body 04 has what appears to be a brake very similar to my cobra brakes and it hauls the truck down quite quickly. The only consideration I will have is the master cylinder and a proportioning valve (sp). I will let everyone know what I come up with.

Just thought I would let everyone know that is looking for rear disc brakes and cannot find anything reasonable.

I will take lots of pictures and have lots of measurements as well for everything.

SSBC makes a rear disc kit for our Ford 9" rearends, for both the large and small bearing.

4W&OR did a covered this in their July mag. Also there is an artical on this site about doing such a thing.

I adapted exploder brakes to my 78 9". They are setup for a torino style end (3.56"x2.00"), but some machining fixed it to go on the big bearing end (3.50"x2.375").
