rear discs brakes

[V8Wedgehead]

jclay-

The bracket is custom machined. I can get some made from this one. Let me see what cost would be. I will check into the rotors too. I had to get a new 95.25 spacing drilled into them but the center hole fits perfect over the center hub boss.

Thanks, Michael!

I figured I would add a side note to the conversion I am working on for the rear disc brakes. I will not be using a emergency brake cable but a remote brake master in the underside of the transmission tunnel using the stock TR7/8 e-brake pull arm. This will lock the rear calipers.

Are you visiting the mouse on the West coast or the fat rat on the East coast?

Rear disc:
OK, now I almost have all the pieces for the rear disc on stock rear and WedgeShop front disc. What do I do about the master cylinder?
How to adjust the set up? I think the last is easy.
Are the disc the same on all four?
Can someone make one list that has all the pieces and part #'s?

Diver-
If you bought Woody's small upgraded kit then the rotors for the front and rear are the same. You can still use the stock master with the booster but you will need to get rid of the proportioning valve and go with striaght lines to the rear and to the front with an ajustable proportioning valve for the rear. I have genric part nubers for the rear discs and I will have to look them up to see what car they are from. I think it was either a Ford Tempo or Escort?

I am going to drop the rear claiper bracket(previously pictures)off to the machine shop this week to get them reproduced and available for you all to do a swap.

Michael, You can count me in as interested also. Looks like I'll be staying with the TR rear. I know I previously stated that I didn't think the rear discs were really needed but they would be a nice touch. Your setup sounds like it could be done affordably. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

BTW, do you know how much thicker the rotors are than drums? My tire to wheel arch clearance is minimal as is.
