Re: [AMC-list] Rear Disks on a '68 Rebel SST

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

There are several rotors with the 5x4.5" pattern on them. 90s-00s Ford 
Crown Vic w/rear disc, Jeep XJ/MJ (Cherokee/Commanche) 4x4 front, 
90s-00s Ford Mustang w/rear disc, and Ford Explorer w/rear disc come to 
mind. The offset will be different for each though, that is the key 
here! If you just want rear discs order a basic kit from Speedway 
(www.speedwaymotors.com). They have weld-on mounts. Cut the drum backing 
plates down to just fit the ends of the axles and weld on the caliper 
mounts -- mount the rotor and fit the caliper with the bracket attached 
to locate where to weld. Then get standard GM front rotors. If a park 
brake is desired get the GM rotors with park brake. The only catch with 
those is that you must use the park brake regularly to keep them 
adjusted. You may be able to measure the axle offset and mod a set with 
the mini drum in the rotor from a 9" Ford to fit the AMC 20 axle -- 
offset is nearly the same. Speedway has a file with most of the 
measurements in it, bolt pattern and off set.
