These brackets are for putting disc brakes on your 10 or 12 bolt pickup rear differential with the 5 on 5 bolt pattern. They are designed to use the '78 and up metric passenger car calipers and Lincoln Mark IV rotors. A list of part numbers will be provided. The brackets are powder coated in gray hammertone and come with grade 8 fasteners. Price is $70.00 shipped to your door in 2 to 3 days. I have 3 sets of these available.

Pictures of the the complete setup mounted would be cool.

I am interested in these also, I would be interested in seeing an assembled picture also

Tommy

I'll get some installed pics later today.....thanks for the interest.

Sounds good

very cool John!
I assume you build these?
I want some, but ain't ready for 'em yet ;)

Thanks Joe, Yeah I made these about 8 or 10 years ago, they just don't seem to sell around here. I thought I'd try and sell what I have left on here, and if there seems to be continued interest, I'll make some more. Let me know when you're ready and I can set you up with this style or a different one.

Ok here are some installed pics of the brackets. One thing I forgot to mention in the first post is that when using this setup you will most likely need to have the flanges of your axles machined down to 6.250" OD. This is needed to accomodate the lincoln rotors. If you have aftermarket axles, I would check them first before assuming it needs to be done. If you don't have a way to get them machined in a lathe, this can be done with an angle grinder, a good hard wheel and some patience. Typically you will need to take off .250" (1/4") of the diameter or .125" (1/8") around the circumference.

Upon setting up this assembly to take pictures today, I discovered a small issue with a reman caliper I picked up today. As I have read in the last couple of years, the castings of the reman calipers can vary from mfg to mfg. This became apparent with the newest caliper having 3 bosses that were interfering with the caliper bracket. This was easily taken care of with a flap disc on a grinder, providing a bit of clearance. Back when I originally made these brackets, I had not run into this issue. As a comparison I have included a pic of an OEM 3rd Gen F- body e-brake caliper.

Let me know if you have any further questions, or if you need to see something not shown in these pics.

Here's a pic of the clearancing done on the reman caliper.

i think this is great production from a stand up guy .i have a set on the way .i will post when they arrive .he provides instant tracking number .very professional.thanks captainfab .a nice way to keep our trucks looking the same but driving and feeling better .:metal::metal::metal::haha::haha::c2::c2::fro::fro:

Cool!!
Thanks John!!

so with the these calipers, only one has an e-brake?

Cool!!
Thanks John!!

so with the these calipers, only one has an e-brake?

No, I was just showing the two different calipers for comparison. You would have either no e-brakes using the front calipers or both calipers having e-brakes when using rear calipers such as the 3rd Gen F-body or the '83-'87 Eldorado, Riviera, Toronado rear calipers.

:dohh:

ok, got ya.......

Thanks Larry :D

got them just like promised,thanx

got them just like promised,thanx

Post up some pics when you get them on......

Post up some pics when you get them on......

Yes, please do!!

TTT :chevy:

Bump.....

BigPimp - Do you have these installed yet?

Captainfab - Are the lincoln rotors the only ones that work, or can you use the actual truck rotors?

the truck front rotors won't work, they have a hub built in.....

BigPimp - Do you have these installed yet?

BigPimp didn't purchase these brackets, he bought the Implala SS ones that I also sell

Captainfab - Are the lincoln rotors the only ones that work, or can you use the actual truck rotors?

Yes these brackets are designed for the Lincoln rotors. And as Joe stated you can't use the pickup front rotors since the hub is part of rhe rotor

captain fab do you still have any of these brackets available. I am in need of a set.

Nice job on those brackets Capt...

Yes I do still have them. Let me know if you want a set. ;)


Nice job on those brackets Capt...

Thanks Jerry. Your Impala disc brake brackets are on their way. Thanks

Maybe I missed it but from what year models are the lincoln rotors from. What are the year models or part numbers for the calipers used? Fill me in on this.

The rotors IIRC are '77-'79 Lincoln Mark V rear rotors. The calipers are most any 'metric' size passenger caliper that GM introduced in '78 and used up into the late 80's. The '83-'87 Eldorado, Riviera, and Toronado, as well as the '82-'88 F-bodies had rear calipers with a built in E-brake. I can get some part numbers tomorrow

would you still have brackets available? Those are pretty sweet being that they are shipped to your door already powdercoated for the price.

Yes I still have these brackets available. Here are some part numbers. There may be other part numbers that will work, these are just the ones I could verify.

Rotors
1977 Loncoln Mark V
Raybestos #6041 Right side
Raybestos #6043 Left side

Unloaded Calipers
1985 Camaro front (no e-brake)
Cardone #184071 Right side
Cardone #184072 Left side

Unloaded Calipers
1985 Camaro rear (built in e-brake)
Cardone #184164 (website says same # for L&R, would need to verify that)

Unloaded Calipers
1985 Riviera rear (built in e-brake)
Cardone #184138 Right side
Cardone #184139 Left side

pm sent

would those brackets not work with impala rotors?

I am interested in a set if you have any sets left. Can you pm me with details. Thanks

Just by looking at the specs on the two and seeing the differences I would say probably not. But of course the ultimate test is to try one and see. I'll see if I can find time to give it a look.

Yes I do still have some of these brackets. I'll send you a PM with details.
