I was searching and found that if you use a 95 cavalier rotor for a pinion brake

That is what I bought and it will not work because the hat is not big enough to drill the holes. Did I buy the right year rotor ?

What have you guys been buying and do you guys have any pics of a drilled rotor ?


Thanks

i used a 86 toy 4x4 ifs front rotor, 350 samuria use a mazda b 2000 rotor . we both used ifs toy 4x4 front caliber. i think his is a better set than mine. it is closer to the diff. mike

Have any of you guys used the Wilwood Dynalite Series Calipers for the rockwell brake if so please tell me what rotor you used.

Thanks

i don't remember seeing anyone used the high dollar stuff on a rockwell. but there was a set of mog axles all fitted up with wilwood rotors and calipers in the mog section. do a search in the mog section, i am sure you will brig it up. mike

TTT:flipoff2:

Frankie Fountain (aka frankie finland) uses the wilwood calipers, and i believe that he uses a cadillac rotor. pm him and ask him. I do know that the extra hard brake pads are chewing his rotors to hell quick. you might try to pm Dan Dibble, I spoke to him today and he has all the high dollar stuff, wilwood rotors and calipers.

Here is my setup:

-1987 (IFS) 4wd Toyota truck 4 piston caliper (~$33 plus core)

-1987 Mazda B2000 rotor (~$18)

I used the Mazda because it is flat and the hole in the center fits over the yoke perfectly. Just drill 4 holes and bolt on.

I have a friend that uses a Wilwood caliper and it works just fine. The only complaint I have heard from him is that it doesn't stop that well at slow speeds and stops like hell at higher speeds, but I believe that is because of the pad compound.



Shit, for whatever reason I can't post a picture, but there is a pic on this post: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75999&highlight=b2000

What rotors does your friend use ?

Thanks everyone for the info it was going to take a couple of weeks to buy the brake setup so I am going to try to build it quick

Hey 350 Samurai, I am seriously interested in seeing your mounting bracket for the caliper. Any chance you could E-mail me a pic or two?

Thanks

All I used for my mounting bracket was a piece of 3/4" angle. It is welded on. It is not the best mounting system and I am in the process of changing it. I have been talking to Daniel about making a bolt on bracket.

Ah, I see.

As far as my bracket goes, I used 3/16" plate, and a couple of washers to mount the rotor, it bolts to the top 2 right bolts on the actual pinion flange, and then I tapped 2 holes in the caliper, so the bolt not only threads through the caliper, but also has a nut on the end... I guess maybe thats a little hard to describe, I'll get some pics when I get to the shop... that'll help!

I'm running Ford taurus rotors and GM 1/2 truck calipers. the combination sticks out away from the axle more than I like but I've been running this combo for a year and haven't had any problems, and the large caliper is way overkill but the stopping power is awesome. I also run a 3/4" bore sprint car master cylinder with no booster, it'll pull the rear tires off of the ground on pavement with the tires aired down!

JYS,
I am running the same set-up as 350 sami..My bracket welds on to ;but, it is made from 1/4 plate and will fit into your back pocket..smaller then a cell phone.You can still remove the collar that it welds to from the housing just a little bit of a pain..Kinda similiar to removing the collar on the back of the 205 were the nut butts up against the vent tube..Send me a pm and maybe I can send you a copy of it..and 350sami thanx for the info again..:D

Thanks for the info guys

Tonight I bought a 1/2 ton chevy rotor drilled it out and used a wilwood 4 piston caliper.
