S1E15 Using Explorer Disc Brakes for your Project


Listen Later

In this episode, we discuss how you can use a set of Explorer disc brakes on a build with bolt in style axles. This setup uses a Big Ford New Style Torino housing end, axle, 1 piece press on ball bearing, shim, and retainer plate. If you have any questions on how this stacks up do not hesitate to reach out to us.

These are great for a mild hot rod or street car. Replacement parts like pads and calipers are easily obtained.  As a bonus, using a Torino end with a common 2 1/2" brake offset leaves you with endless kits offered from almost every brake manufacturer if you're looking to upgrade in the future. 

Also, if you're looking for information on how to measure axles or a housing check out Redbird Speed - Tech Information. We have some resources available here and we are only a phone call away.
