Rear disk brake conversion
I am starting a rear disk brake conversion on my '94 E150 all ABS (8.8 housing). And besides the correct parts, information is the hardest thing to come by. I know this ain't a big time high buck swap because it is a van, but it seems that an F150 (parts, like the Lighting PU) should share that platform. There is a so called kit by FORD Racing (Part# M-2300-G) advertised many places like, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Racing-Rear-Disk-Brake-Kit-for-Truck-8-8-9-Axle_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33564QQihZ013QQite mZ230037363410QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW that refer to the "truck 8.8 rear", but it always states the rotors are for 5 on 4&1/2" bolt pattern (passenger car), not the needed 5 on 5&1/2" pattern. If anyone has done something similar, or knows a good parts place that will TALK to you, and maybe have the parts, I would appreciate the help.
I am considering using a late (2004 F150 rear axle housing, as a complete swap) that i have accss to, but it's fairly expensive considering the additional expense, that the bolt pattern on the axles and rotors would have to be changed. No problem for doing axles that's fairly common, but can't say I have ever seen it done to rotors.
Thanks,
J.D.
And I ain't interested in buying another van!
