Just did a rear disc brake conversion on my 89 dakota. Went to junk yard and got rotors calipers and calper bracke along with proportion valve for total of 73$

 

nice...

 

could you tell how you did it this is sumthin i may look into 4 89 dakota 4x4 thanks

 

What type of vehicle did you get your parts? Shoot I'm braking down my rear axle soon I may do it too.

And post up pics!

 

I used everything from a 97 jeep grand cherokee, I went to my local pullapart and found the jeep with good rotor , pads and calipers pullded the axels aout of it to get the backing plate( I used my factory axels) you will also need the jeeps proportion valve. You will need to make the center hole of the backeing plate a lil bit bigger I just went around it a few times with a dia grinder and after that it bolted up, had same bolt patter. After that I had to shorten my bake lines and hook up the jeeps flex lina along with finding a place to bolt down the flex line. I didn't use the parking brake so after all lines were hooked up everything went togeather like doing a regular brake job. This will only work for 5 lug but if you can find a car with a 6 lug rear rotor with same bolt pattern I'm sure you can get it to work

 

Good idea! I guess for others with the 6 lug you could swap axle shafts to convert to the 5 lug. Where are the pics???

 

I will have to pull the wheels back off tomorrw for some pics...

 

Did you replace the master cylinder as well?

 

Some of the newer 2nd gens had rear disc brakes

 

I have a hole hydroboost system out of a 99 mustang in my Dakota booster and mastercylender
