Hey. That's Great. Glad you are figuring it out. What some people have said is that they were going to try to modify my bracket. The hole spacing...
Jayne. Unfortunately I don't believe that the plate that I made will work on your 50 unless they used the same spindle and back plate as the...
I really don't remember now. However, I also changed the front lines. You should be able to verify the thread pitch while you are at the parts...
I need to get the templates back up on my site. The site is moving to a new server. The links to the templates in an earlier post will be back as...
Hi. Hey I did leave the other original parts in. It worked but really needed a residual valve. I sold the car before I had a chance to install the...
If you are using the original brake master cylinder or notice that you have to pump the brakes to get them to work then put in a residual valve....
UPDATE!!! Server that was storing the files of the bracket scans went down. Here are the files if you want to save and print them out... There is...
Looking good. If you decide to go with a windshield without the center bar, Bobs Classic auto glass does a bent "one piece" windshield for our...
Thats Awesome. The 410 gears are about what the car would have come with from the factory. Not great for milage but great for hotrodding. Sounds...
I would imagine that the 14s would be too small. A 15 inch stock wheel may not work either. I had 15 inch mag wheels and they fit fine. It depends...
Measure and check but the rear end may be a super good match. I know that it was going to be about 3/4 inch different on each side. I have a 2001...
Happy to see that people are finding my update useful. I did drive the car with the disk conversion for a few weeks before I sold the car and I...
Dang man! Thats a nice one. Super cool. I like the skirts and visor.
Love the look. Thats Awesome. Thats what I had pictured in my mind for my 47. Satin black, Skirts, Visor and almost as low.
To the best of my knowledge it will not work on the bigger cars. The Dodge, Chrysler, and Desoto cars were different from what I have been told....
YES. Thanks I was in a super hurry when I did the last post and was having a brain fart. Didnt have time to look it up. Thanks for posting it. :D
You should change the master. I was going to use the Explorer master and make a mount on the back side of the original master after I gutted the...
Cool. My original lines were in front of the control arm . I unbolted it and relocated it behind the original shock. You should be able to move it...
OH yeah. Dont get the hose mount too far back or you could hit it with the tire during hard turns. Also if I remember correctly I ran the metal...
Unfortunately I dont remember and dont have the car any more. Im pretty sure it was a 93 mx3. The hoses that I used had just a slightly larger...
96 to 2001 are the years. I stumbled upon this by accident and made it work. I was browsing the wrecking yard to measure the rear end in an...
Thats odd. The images at http://car.icompute.info/disk_bake_bracket.htm are pdf. I printed them here at the house and they printed to scale....
Here is a link to the page with the scan of the template. Problem is that I think your spindles are different. Check before you go through all...
Hi. On one of them I ground it down (Carefully) thinking I needed to. My rotors had a bevel in the back side so it actually cleared without issue....
I drilled the holes in the hub to the appropriate size and pulled half inch studs through. They were held in place by the knurled part of the...
I do believe I did. I did this as a budget deal. Are those brackets for Explorer? The ones I found were for 1990 Celebrity. Most of the brackets...
No problem. I know that the spacing works but isnt necessarily perfect. The brackets were back yard done ya know. Just so everyone knows. They...
The calipers were off of a 4wd. If you get new calipers some manufacturers dont machine the disk center out as far on the back side so you may...
One additional that should be added here. This was done with a set of factory "Directly off of the Explorer" brakes. I have had a couple of...
Wow! Wish I would have seen this a year ago before I cut my springs. I will have to look at my 47 and see if it is the same but if memory serves...
