Re: [Amc-list] Cheap brake conversion



That looks good, needs three things to be picture perfect.
A clean jig made so you can have th eplates cut professionaly.
A spacer for between the center hub and rotor.
Details on the studs and hub machining.
With those three things you could give scarebird some competition!

I'm not putting down what you did as it is an excellent conversion.
The plates would be very simple to duplicate cleanly by most any professional shop.
Last I knew they charged about $30 for a pair I bought from a guy that mounts 82-87 calipers over thinned WJ rotors.
I paid him $50, I have the rotors, calipers and brakes, never did the setup.
I'll probably use it on the convert someday.
I bought brand new rotors and have since bought a WJ so current thinking is to rework my WJ's rotors and use the new ones on the WJ! No sense in turning down and redrilling the new ones!
I may not thin them at all, only realy need to do that with new pads, used pads will clear the thicker rotors.

I'd have down the Mustang front brakes If I'd have not bought all this stuff allready.
