Re: [AMC-list] Lincoln Continental Brakes

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

 Marc, I don't know.... there are several cars that use separate 
rotor/hub setups on front. The first that comes to mind is some Jeep XJ 
models, my 91 Commanche had them. Those are a bit deep though. Second 
option is a hat style rotor from Baer or one of the other aftermarket 
brake companies (try speedwaymotors.com). The problem will be the 
caliper bracket. Using a four piston caliper would be the easiest as the 
caliper can be shimmed to center on the rotor pretty easy.

--------------------
Back during one of our many threads about disk brake conversions for our 
AMC's, someone mentioned that the later-model Lincoln Continental brakes 
(1990's??) were two-piece (rotor separate from hub) and that replacement 
rotors were very cheap (on the order of $20 as I recall).

Does anyone recall who that was and might you have the link he provided 
to his photo page of this conversion being done (on his Javelin I think)?

I have a friend who is looking for information on this sort of thing for 
his Rambler American.
