8.8 rear disk brake emergency brake question
I swapped in a 8.8 rear with disk brakes on my 51 f1.
what are people running in the way of emergency brake kits (not factory). I have an auto so its not life or death but still want it. I was thinking explorer set up with pedal and all but not sure... |
I used Lokar cables on mine..

As John said...Lokar cables work great, I have them on two of my vehicles. Just to clarify, when you say "not factory" are you referring to the cables or the actual internal brake shoes?
|
I also bought all new backing plates from Currie Enterprises, the ones that were on my differential were pretty beat up..
|
Lokar kit on mine too. Actually with an automatic it is more important to have one. With a manual trans if your brakes fail you can always shift to lower gears to stop. With an auto trans lower gears are not as effective in stopping your truck.

I used lokar cables, then made a little piece out of square tubing to hook the original handle cable up to the lokar cables.https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...8c76b3d279.jpg

Stock Emergency Handle
I use a stock cable from the original stock handle back to the Explorer cable from the discs linkage. Fabbed up a joiner bracket at the cable transition.
|
Ok. I need everything- I see the explorer has inner pads on the hubs inside the disks.....
I will have to look into getting all the parts interior and exterior from the parts yard I guess.... |
