Disk Brake Conversion

Hey, I have a 47' Willys CJ2A with Dana 25 up front. I am doing the disk brake conversion on this web site. I bought the caliper mounts from Complete Offroad (76-79 F150). They came in and the caliper mounts dont match up with the hubs or new rotors. Did I do something wrong? Thanks

 

There suppose to be from a chevy truck not ford.

"Caliper mounting brackets from 73-91 1/2 ton chevy 4x4"

 

yup, i pulled my last set from a suburban and they match up as well... i haven't bothered to look at the fords, but from your experience i'm assuming they won't work.

 

Yup, Fords only have 5 bolt spindles. Won't work.

Ok, i need help now. I have been looking at CompleteOffroad.com and I can't find the caliper mounts. Can someone please help me?

 

This is the caliper bracket you need. $45 each is highway robbery, you can buy them for $20 a pair at any junkyard I've ever been to.

Maybe it's a regional thing. For $90 I could get the whole front dana 44

 

I have a Dana 25, someone gave me the caliper mounts at complete offroad for the 44,30,28. It doesnt look the same as the one in the picture in the instructions anyway. Please help

 

The one that you want is the one I linked to. Works for Dana 25/27 source is a Chevy Dana 44. If what they sent you looks different, then I would give them a call and find out what they sold you.

 

chuck's link are the mounts you need. they might have the dust sheild and inner circle cut out of them when they get to you, but those are the brackets you need. 20 bucks for the pair is the going rate at the pull a part around here as well... if going rate is 50 for the set i'll be pulling a couple next week...

 

It is. Around here that same 44 starts at $200 and goes up from there. Even things like caliper brackets that used to be everywhere are getting harder to come by. Count yourself lucky to be in an area where that stuff is affordable still. By the way, some Ford spindles are 6 bolt. Depends on year and application. They still won't work though because of the offset unless you use all the Ford parts. Nickmil.

 

Where you localed? I've got a set sitting in the shed. Bought them years ago to do my 2a but swapped in a complete D30 instead.

Florida, I am in high school and teaching mechanics on my 2a myself. I have always had a thing for old jeeps. If you have the brackets and could get them for me I would appreciate it. I dont know how to pay you though. Thanks

 

I'll be home Wed, in LA now, and I'll see if I can pull them out. Best I remember they're kind of heavy so shipping might kill you.. I'll let you know by Wed night/Thurs morning what I find out. What's your ZIP so I can check shipping when I get home?

34285, and ur sure they are the same mounts, to a dana 25.
Thanks a lot

 

FYI- USPS has a Priority Mail flat rate box that they will ship up to 70lbs for $7.70 Go get their shoebox sized box and send it. :hurrican: :hurrican:

 

You know that's one method don't think of often.. Seems to me that it cost almost $16 to ship an air cleaner Priority Mail not to long ago. Anyway I'll check tomorrow..

I'm sure that they're the 6 hole brackets, just like the picture shown above.

OK, here's a couple pics of the brackets(hope this works).
Looks like shipping weight is ~22lbs. So USPS rates are $32.45 Priority or $21.32 Parcel Post from 85222 to 34285. Do you still want them or would you rather check out your local junkyards?
