So far I have caliper brackets from a Wagoneer, rotors from a scout. 1.125" and the wagoneer calipers. Only thing is. I am confused on the rotors to use. I did the search deal and I could only come up with that some people used the 7/8's rotors.
Also, I seen Jweeds web site and he used scout cast brackets.
I can just put the rotor on and weld the bracket to the tube right?
And also, does the caliper need to be facing the rear of the jeep or the front ?
I pressume also the stick porportioning valve needs to be chucked or do I need to gut it somehow?
You can get the weld on caliper brackets from http://aa-mfg.com for about $10 per bracket. I believe the bracket is 113A for the midsize chevy calipers. If your using the 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern you can use late model CJ rotors that are 7/8" thick. The only thing you have to do to get the rotors to fit is turn down the axle 1/4" so that the rotors will fit over the axle. As for calipers, use 87 S-10 calipers(non e-brake) or if you want use of the e-brake calipers for an 82 Caddy Eldorado, but the caddy calipers cost about $90 a piece.
I'm plannin on puttin discs on my Scout D44 once I get it ready to go under the heep but the only other thing i can think of is to make a spacer to go where the backin plate for the drums originally was. HTH.
