Re: [FWDLK] Rear discs?

[Scott H <kneedrager@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that the only MOPAR rear disc brakes in the 70's were on d early
70's imperials (i am sure someone know for sure)
I understand that they are not easy to find and replacement calipers are
also tough and expensive to get ahold of.
I am using a rear disc brake connversion made by Stainless Steel Brakes
http://www.stainlesssteelbrakes.com/
I bought it through mancini racing (www.manciniracing.com)
I believe that it uses Ford rear rotors with an Eldorado Caliper (has
parking brake feature on the caliper) with a custom mounting bracket.  The
kit looks very complete with longer lugs, adj proportioning valve etc. I am
still a few months away from installing it.

There is also another place where you can get the rotors and brackets, they
can also supply the calipers and everything else.  I have not seen the kit
but know several people on another board that have ordered it, not sure if
any have been installed yet.
