Rear Disc Brake Conversion/Bracket on eBay

[greatguy57078]

I found a setup on eBay for my stock '68 rear end. I will be using this truck for street only, so will the stack rear be strong enough, or should I upgrade to a newer big bearing rear? Check out the link and give me your input as far as if this setup would be worth it. Thank you.

Read through the description - they say it can't be used for the 5-5.5 pattern.

Read here. It is everything you've ever wanted to know about the 9 inch rear disc conversion. Also try searching this site for cheap 9" disc covnersions.

I bought disk brackets from that guy a few years ago. I have 16" rims so make sure your 15" rims will work with them. Chevy went to 16" rims pretty early. The kits from that guy require that use the chevy rotors.

Here is the kit with redrilled chevy rotors and brackets.

I'm working on using 94+ bronco rotors and MK VII rear calipers, kind of like this, but different rotors

Had to take 1/16 radius off the 9" flange to fit that rotor (not too worried as I have forged yukons and the flange is thicker than stock anyway) and I don't have the calipers yet. For reference, here are some caliper piston dia's.

76-78 Eldo,Rivi,Toronado: 2 13/32" (from TSM)
79-85 Eldo,Rivi,Toronado,80-85 Seville: 2 1/32" (from TSM)
Chevy p/u front: 2 1/2" or 2 15/16" (hd)
Lincoln Mk VII, 84-90, 2-1/8.

Definately a little smaller than the std caddy calipers most use (76-78), but most also seem to have a problem with locking up rears real easy with hydroboost.

I am going to be a pain here but
WATCH WHAT YOU BUY!!!
Most of these kits do not have an e-brake setup
Most states and provinces this is law so make sure you get a setup that has this.
There are kits that do this (exploder kit) and UJerk solutions (Lincoln and Tbird)
READ my rear disc article.
read Todds writeups on this, I like having you guys around and brakes is one area not to screw around with. DO IT RIGHT!!!

The kit from doug100 on ebay uses cadillac calipers or gm calipers. For this kit the buyer must provide their own e-brake.
