When I pulled the axles to get the center section out of the 9 inch rear,I realized the calipers need rebuilding.The trouble is,it's out of a Lincolin Versaille,which is a completely different disc brake set up than any other Ford 9 inch. The parts are getting hard to find.Does anybody know a place in the Waterloo area that rebuilds calipers? ( Thanks again for the help with the gears...I called Forest and Forest,and they will set them up for me).
really any brake specialist shop should know how to rebuild them...........the problem is usually the price of the kit and labor ends up close to a brand new one
They show a retro-fit kit for your application-You could call Ralph Lisena(owner of ECI) he will give you the honest "skinny" on your axle an the options you can consider.

Excellent link AA...adding this to our links section
Give Heimpels a call, Jim will help you out with whatever you need. I don't think anyone here in Kw rebuilds calipers anymore but if they are not available Heimpels have a connection for getting them rebuilt.

I found rebuilt calipers at Hot Spot auto parts in Kitchener(King and Ottawa).The price was $80.00 each,which considering how hard they are to find,is pretty good. I needed a serpentine belt for my Honda,which they also had for $24.00,plus tax(this is a Goodyear,made in Canada,eh,belt)The dealer price was $70.00 plus!! The prices seem very good at Hot Spot.I would highly recomend them.
