Title: Rear Disc Brake Identity
Post by: Zukipilot on June 16, 2006, 05:31:28 AM: I have a Currie Ford 9Ã¢â‚¬? 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 9Ã¢â‚¬?

Jeep Wide-track Width

Rear Disc Brakes with parking brake lever (mid 80Ã¢â‚¬â„¢s Lincon Contential Calipers)

5 on 5.5 lug pattern

11Ã¢â‚¬? 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.

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

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.
