Custom Made Rear Brakes

[GreatOne34]

Good Day All,

I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day and is well fed!! As the title says, my Charger was restored in 1999-2000 and has a 4 wheel disk brake setup on it. Somehow, I managed to warp one of the rear disks and at a total loss as to how to get a new disk and pads. I had purchased a new rear disk conversion kit, but again, with the home made conversion, the new disks do not fit the studs on the rear axles. After spending much of my day with Mr Google, I figured I should try here as well. The disk as a number of 86730 on it, and the pads are AE-48-FT. Any help figuring out a current cross reference would be most appreciated. All replies are welcomed and I hope everyone has a great Black Friday.

The problem is a bit unclear. 

What brakes are on the axle now? 

Is it an older aftermarket rear disc kit, or is it truly a backyard job? 

Do you not know for sure?

What exactly is preventing the new discs from fitting the studs?

Good Cyber Monday All,

I haven idea if far disks were a kit or homemade cobble job. My father purchased the car restored about 15-17 years ago and my attempts to contact seller have been met with unable to forward mailings.It appears as though it is a universal disk as it has 2 sets of mounting holes of 5, of different diameters. The new brake kit will not mount up as the wheel studs have a thicker shoulder where they go through the disk, then taper down to the threaded portion of the stud. I have tried to post image of disk, not sure if it has gone through. Appreciate the replies and look forward to further insight.

That problem might seem easy enough to solve by merely drilling out the lug holes in the disc to the size of the stud shoulder BUT don't do this unless the center hole in the disc is a snug fit on the axle hub...you'll need some precision measuring to determine this.

And, of course, this will only work if the stud shoulder doesn't extend out too much past the surface of the disc...depends on the wheel/lug nut used.

If this is a SSBC setup, the mounting hardware isn't exactly precise. I found out the hard way many years ago. IF this is indeed a SSBC setup, I believe the rotors are Lincoln, thunderbird calipers. Pictures would be helpful to identify the rotors.

Will,

Pictures were attached to my last reply. You have to download as I cannot figure out how to get it embedded. Have no idea if this an SSBC setup.

John, Then I have to try to find machine shop. My mechanic already has that as a last resort option as it is difficult to find a good shop that would be willing to take this on. The stud should does not extend out past face of disk. We had already determined that when considering the machining option.

Thanks much for the replies, I appreciate everyone's time.

If I get half a minute tomorrow I'll try to verify. Those look like the rotors from SSBC. I have to dig around a bit. I have that setup on the 8 3/4 in my garage. I put a Dana in when I increased hp    Back to drums I went. I'll message you if I can figure out pictures...
