Rear Disc Brake Identity
« on: June 16, 2006, 05:31:28 AM »
 I have a Currie Ford 9â€? that I purchased second hand 2 years ago. The original owner ran it in his UROC buggy for a few years before going wider. During installation we unknowingly welded over the numbers Currie punches in the top of the housing to identify the parts used. I need to replace my rear Disc brakes but can not determine what rotors were used. Does some one have any way of identifying what rotors Currie would of used on this rear axle?

 

Ford 9�

Jeep Wide-track Width

Rear Disc Brakes with parking brake lever (mid 80’s Lincon Contential Calipers)

5 on 5.5 lug pattern

11� Disc

 

I found the Calipers by an extremely helpful parts counter guy on a slow night (looking box to box after a search for calipers with a parking brake). I have no way of doing that down here and am in drastic need for new rotors.

I think you have Ford Exploder brakes. They look pretty similar to mine... See attached.

The calipers could be on anything. The rotors are the 'adapting' part.

The rotors are what I am trying to determine what they came off of  :-\ I assumed Lincons, because that is what the calipers came off of, but I should of known a car would not have a 5 on 5.5 lug pattern  :P

Thanks!!! I have a salesman at Currie looking into the rotors. I thought that they would of used a factory option rotor  :-\ I was hoping to get one that I would not have to ordor, but the price s not too bad for custom drilled rotors.

Actually, Uncivilized's idea would probably work. The 4-door rotos are vented 11 inchers. There's a small lip on the outer edge of the inside mounting surface that may get in the way but If you had one in your hand, it may be worth it to try it out.
