Does anyone know what the discs are for a TJ SSBC conversion, i.e are they a generic disc, like the pads as found on a ........
I did the search function but found nothing

Send email to Van he will help you - top banana for help with brakes .. CLICKY (http://www.vancopbs.com/)

the calipers are from a 1988 ford thunderbird turbo, not 100% on the discs
when i had probs i e-mailed them and they came back with good info
would be interested myself tbh :greggmo:
-
As already said, the pads are '88 T-bird turbo but sadly the discs are bespoke items and only available from SSBC. Ask me how I know................ :jpshakehead:
Random fact - Metro 1.3 front pads are exactly the same size and shape as '88 T-bird turbo. Quick weldy/filey for the handbrake cable lug and they work a treat :icon_super: :003:

So I could do with a new disc and a new caliper, what are my best options without taking out another mortgage?
I emailed Van the man, will wait to see..

caliper- rockauto
discs- sounds like SSBC unless you can find out the sizes, even re-drilling if nescessary

I have a SSBC kit on the CJ, not sure if it the same as on the TJ but I did manage to source discs elsewhere as the ones from SSBC were a criminal price and the freight was off the wall. Took me a long time to find so if I can be of some assistance I'm more than willing to give my info out.

Willo,
I was told originally that they were off an International Harvester II this turned out to be incorect but in the process I managed to befriend an International Harvester speciallist in the US and he sourced mine for my by taking the measurements of mine (original) and matching this to ones in a parts catalogue. I still have his contact details. Unfortunatley there was no manufacturer listing on the disc but I do have a part number on the box in the workshop. He told me if I needed future ones just to recontact him and he would source.
Here is my disc spec (actual one I received)
outside dia. 11.72 = 11 3/4" - .0064
Height 2.704 = 2 11/16"
Nom. Thk. 1.185 = 1 3/16"
Discard 1.120 = 1 3/16" + .015
center hole 3.878 = 3 7/8
The centre hole is smaller than my original however I just turned it bigger on the lathe. (about 6mm)
The calipers are the same as Wagoneer ones so pads etc are easy to find
I will look on the box today and get number etc off it. If this is the same as yours then I will give you his email address and you can see if if can get you another one.

just dint want ya shellin out for the wrong thing i hate that ..............................its like all the vm owners upsets me to see them losing hard earned cash on the wrong thing
-
no answer from Van the man ?
-
Mine might be the wrong part for Willo (CJ/TJ), but my contact in the US was a decent guy and would probably be willing to source the correct one if Willo gives him the measurements (like i didi), from what I have found out SSBC seem to adapt odd ball parts together making sourcing elsewhere very difficult (probably a company marketing trick or something) anyways I'm more than willing for Willo to contact this guy if he so wants.
