Weld on Disc Brake Brackets - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

1TonCJ-7 · 12-05-2002, 12:39 AM

I make these myself. They are laser cut from 1/4" steel and use a large GM caliper. Mounting radius is for a 2-3/4" axle tube like that on YJs, but can be made to fit Dana 44s and other axles with a little grinding with an angle grinder.
Axles that they would work on to name a few are D35, D44, AMC 20 and others.
I also have a weld on bracket that I make for 8 bolt wheel FF D60s such as the Ford Units. It is almost identical to the one pictured except that it is slightly higher to allow for a larger diameter rotor and it has a 3" diameter mounting surface.
Sold in pairs obviously!

$40 CDN for the smaller ones ($27 US)
$45 CDN for the D60 style ($30 US)
Shipping is extra. They fit inside a 8.5x11 bubble pack envelope so shipping should be pretty cheap by mail.

I can take PayPal for those that like to use it.

Email me if you are interested or have any questions. Dean - jeep@reach.net

Here is a picture showing a bracket mounted to a caliper.

Rotor and caliper shown are 1979 GM 3/4 ton parts

make them for 14 bolts and name your price.

Oxjockey and I spent better than 4 hours trying to make the A-A brackets work on a C&C 14 bolt

JoshC · 04-01-2003, 10:42 AM

I'll take a set for the D44. I'll PM you.

BTW: Wont the 3" brackets work for a 14 bolt as well?

CJredneck · 04-01-2003, 12:32 PM

insterested in a pair for a 14 bolt full floater . pm me

Yes I have them for 14 bolt FF as well. Price on them is $100 CDN (roughly $68 US). Here is a picture of what the kit looks like. I belive shipping on them should be between $10-$12 with insurance. May be cheaper though, that is just a guess.

How are these different from the AA-Mfg ones everyone talks about on here?

Sundowner · 04-02-2003, 04:09 PM

those won't fit on a cab and chassis 14 bolt, the flange is too far away.

here's one for you 1-toncj7,
product idea:

make a bracket that holds 2 calipers:
a 1/2 ton gm caliper.
and a willwood mechanical caliper.

a real rear caliper and a parking brake to go with it without resorting to the undersized and overpriced caddy calipers
nobody offers that

1TonCJ-7 · 04-02-2003, 08:58 PM

Sundowner,, thanks for the idea. I will look into that.
But wouldn't buying a GM caliper and a wilwood parking brake caliper be almost as much as the pricey caddy ones?
I have nevr priced the Wilwood parking brake so I don't know.

I have never seen the AA manufacturing 14 bolt mounts so I have no idea what the difference is.
If there is enough interest in C&C 14 FF disc brakes, I will look into designing something for them. I will just have to get my hands on one. If I do I will design one regardless. I am working on bolt on kits for several axles right now.

Sundowner · 04-03-2003, 04:01 AM

a pair of willwood mech calipers is really cheap.
something like $70, if I remember.
they have the prices on the website.

a-a doesn't make weld-on 14b brackets.
they're too short and 14b tubes are a bizzare OD, something like 3-5/16"

afaik, nobody makes weld-on brackets for the c&c axles, but everybody and his brother makes the bolt-on kind.

btw, you rgonna move this to the venor forum?

d.d.machine · 04-03-2003, 08:01 AM

how about some bolt on ones for D60?

ttabbal · 04-03-2003, 08:08 AM

I'd buy a set that had the mount for a mechanical caliper as well as the normal front calipers for a Toy axle.

Already make them for two different flange styles of full float D60s. As soon as I get my hands on the third style that I know of, I will start making them for it too.

Follow the link for more info on them.

yellowbronco · 04-04-2003, 05:05 PM

How about something for a Ford Sterling? It's popularity is increasing with all the gearing and locker options that have been popping up lately. I'm looking into disks for my Sterling right now.

1TonCJ-7 · 04-07-2003, 09:27 PM

All I have right now is weld on brackets that should work for you. You are actually the first person I have ever had ask for Sterling conversion.

d.d.machine · 04-08-2003, 07:47 PM

Mount some of these on and get the pigs off are backs,,,
I could not find a price on them but I`ll find out in the morning.

put me down for a set of bolt ones with the mount for the mechanical spot calipers on them,,,, hell if they well lock up a set of 38`s I`ll just use them for turn brakes .

Hell, even a generic weld on bracket to mount those in addition to what we allready have would be excellent. Unlike a TCase brake, one bracket would work on a lot of vehicles.

I did a quick search on those Wilwood calipers, the only place I found a price listed had them for $55/ea.
