Disc to Drum, Budget Conversion, Early Bronco

Step by step of how I installed a budget disc brake conversion on a 1973 Ford Bronco Dana 44 and some of my impressions.
If the caliper bracket had been stamped deep enough for the extra .060" needed to clear the pad, there wouldn't have been an issue
I think this will also work on a Dana 30, but not completely sure of that. I know the Wilwood kit does.

Done this to mine. When u turn to deep the caliper hits axle pushes piston back and u won’t have brakes for a few minutes after lol

Oh Boy

[@randysguitarsbroncos223]

Have you had any other issues?

Have you had any issues with this kit? I was looking into it but hadn't seen any reviews.

[@randysguitarsbroncos223]

I personally have not had any issues, except for the installation problems described in the video. I did find a video where the brakes wouldn’t release issue. Here’s a link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mILVaYKCftubeNUsi=AETVMn5uW15mYObA And In the comment, I got a couple days ago about the caliper, hitting the axle and not having brakes for a few seconds😀

Was this the Duff budget brake kit?

[@randysguitarsbroncos223]

I got it from CJ Pony Parts, but I believe it’s the same thing.
