I have been reading search results for over 2 hours, yet am unable to come up with an answer. Looking for heavy duty BOLT-ON rear disc brake conversion bracket for Ford Dana 60 FF rear. I have looked at a few different companies and none want to sell just the bracket except for possibly TSM. Does anyone have a CAD drawing of one? I am able to make them myself, I just did not want to buy some and then return them. I would like to have an E-brake but is the caddy caliper my only choice? They seem spendy. Other options?
Trying to do this on a budget if possible. I want to retain the 8 lug also. Thanks.

I purchased some bolt on brackets for my 14-bolt from Shaker. Check out this link and pics http://www.shakerbuilt.com/14_Bolt.html

Not a D60 but it might give you some ideas for a home brew bracket.

Good luck!

I just talked to Tim...great guy. No luck on the brackets for the 60. Would love to have a set of 3/8" ones like he makes for the Corp14. Anybody have drawings???

Its easy to build. Use backing plates off A chevy front dana 44. then go buy A new set of 8 lug chevy roters ( which are cheaper if you buy them new) and also buy A set of chevy calipers for a chevy 44. A brand new set of chevy calipers is useally only $25 loaded with brakes. Then push out the wheel studs, then seperate the drum and hub, then put the new roter and hub togather and put the studs back in. Now put the hub and bearings back togather and on the axle. Now take the caliper and mount it to the backing plate, then set the backing plate on the axle and the brakes will slide right over the roter and now weld the backing plate right where it lands. And use A short rubber front 44 brake line to hook up the brakes. Do not hook A metal line directly to them. The vibration will eventally brake the line. Now your done. It is really easy. And if you use all new parts except backing plates of course ( because I dont think you can Buy them new) you should only spend A total of about $ 165. And it only takes about only !hour A side. Good luck, hope this helps.

TOR started selling a weld on set from Metal Fusion they are $45 a pair and include a parts list of every thing you will need. I believe the total cost of every part needed would be around $185 including the brackets. Give us a call tomarrow if you want a pair at 1-866-248-8638 and ask for Dan. Thanks.

How thick are they? I want something heavy duty....not like the flimsy weld on ones I see from others.

thanks

well thats damn straight of ya. props

Here's one:

There's no e-brake, but a disc or drum on the t-case is getting fairly popular. Several ways to skin that cat - do a search :D

If you run into the problem of not finding long enough stubs to pin the rotor behind the hub like the Chevy applications, buy rear rotors for a 1997 E-350 Super Duty van. Early 97 used 8x6.5 lug pattern where the later 97 used the metric lug pattern.

These rotors slip on the outside of the hub. I am running hummer rims so I am not sure if the brake assembly would clear a 15 inch rim.

The bolt pattern on E-series vans is still 8-on-6.5. Metric pattern F250/350 SuperDuty wheels won't fit - I've tried.

Not sure on the studs though. They could be metric for all I know.

The 97-up E350 rotors have an integral drum for the parking brake. The rotor has a massive "hat" on it. This may or may not be good depending on what brackets you decide to use and where you mount them.
