The parts in question and pics (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54081) Chad H 05-12-2002, 11:31 PM 15-7008 15 - 7009? Looks like 1 ton front brakes from say a 78 era ford.......... Alpo 05-13-2002, 06:14 AM Originally posted by DaChad 15-7008 15 - 7009? Looks like 1 ton front brakes from say a 78 era ford.......... Not likely, the later '70s used large two piston sliding calipers and the ones pictured are 4 piston fixed calipers. They look simular to the larger Kelsey-Hayes units found on T-birds starting in '64 and Galaxies in '65.

I say this cause this is part of a kit that you can buy (for $$$$$$) so I suspect they would be using parts that are still readly available. What about the rotor? This vehicle had drum brakes originally. emsoffroad 05-13-2002, 08:53 AM Toy's came with 4 piston calipers as well. However I think they are a little smaller then the ones you show in the pics. I would think that if you are making your own kit, you can use what ever caliper/rotor you want. Since I'm guessing that you will also be changing your lug pattern. | |
