Rear Discs
Rear Disc Upgrade
For rear discs I used the Cadillac upgrade using brackets purchased on www.Ebay.com . This uses common **Chevy 1500 truck rotors drilled to 5×5.5. I used e-brake cables from BC Broncos. All the e-brake linkages and parts were bought from a junkyard with the caliper cores. To tie in the brake lines I used BC Broncos’ rear disc brake line kit. If you wish to bend your own then you will need to research the fitting sizes and bend the lines to your preference. You must use flexible lines between the hard line and the calipers as they need to move because the calipers move as the pads wear. This article will show you how to adjust the rear calipers: http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showpost.php?p=361439&postcount=5
**This setup requires rear wheel spacers if using stock wheels**
