anyone got any pics of rear disks on a stock maverick rear end? with a parking brake would be nice. now i've seen plenty of big brake 2 or 4 pistion aftermarket ones for 9 inchers... so thats of no interest to me... never the less i have a kit. but i'm really looking to do something with my stocker. i've heard people using other newer ford stuff.. but i'm not really wanting to do too much fabing or infact i don't want to do any. i'm also presuming mustang kits will work but would still like to see what others have done out there.
Ditto, What is turning in that little mind of yours. I looked at PST kits but for some reason I don't think it will be a bolt on.
too much time on my hands thats what yeah i wish! but it seem like no responses in a day here so i guess i have to be a guinie pig again?
I haven't got to that yet but I did look into it while I was cutting up the back of the Comet. I will be checking into it further. I also think we will need to change the booster for more psi.
Didn't one of the magazines recently have a bolt on kit that converted your drums to discs? PHP, HR, or something like that.
I've down 2 differnt swaps.Used the explorer swap very easy and did the s10 calipers/jeep rotors. A little more difficult but easy too...
I used a Stainless Steel Brake Company kit a couple years ago. It required no fabbing and it will install on most 8" or 9" Ford rear ends. It has provisions for the parking brake cables and I was able to install them and get the parking brake to work. This probably isn't exactly the kind of pic you are looking for, but it is all I could find for now:
It was around $550 if I remember correctly...pricy for sure, but I figured it was a lot less hassle than other available options...and since I changed the rear end to an equi-loc already I didn't want to replace the whole thing. I found the instructions to be great and the installation to be pretty straight forward. The only thing I didn't like was that the brake pedal was a lot harder than before the rear discs...nothing that a little Hydroboost couldn't fix.
Pricey? man, the cougar and mustang conversion kits that "bolt up" are over $800. will it fit on any 8 or 9 incher?
My local truck yard sells the explorer complete set-up for $150.00 Drill a couple hole and it bolts right on..
Heh...I guess because many people who own Mavericks bought their car for less than the price of a kit like that I have come to expect people to freak when they see the price.. Check this link out: http://www.stainlesssteelbrakes.com/products/search/?make=Street+Rod+Kits&model=Ford+8%22+%26+9%22+Rear+Ends They have kits that should fit any 8 or 9" rear end. Looks like the suggested retail is higer now ($795), but I remember that I got it cheaper thru Summit or Jegs than buying direct from SSBC. I think the kit I got was A111-2
thanks i gotta look into that. thats not that bad... now i gota find someone that can hook me up on a deal oh yeah what kind or did you even use a vavle for the master?
