I have a set of GM rear single piston calipers on my Ford 9" axle - installed them myself from a kit I bought (MGP, I believe). They're the 'large' calipers that preceded the 'metric' calipers, but I believe the designs are very similar. I do remember the rear caliper adjustments were a critical part of the installation, plus there are strong warnings that you need to use the e-brake on a regular basis or you will lose the function of the rear brakes. Sample instructions on page 7 of this: http://www.jegs.com/installationinst...600_630601.pdf
Hi Brian, I don't have the calipers that have provisions for the e- brake. what are the large calipers you used? Application?
