I have a 9” Versailles rear with disc brakes and would like to swap the cast iron caliper for an aluminum one with E brake, it’s mostly street driven. Do you know of any that would bolt up or even a little fabrication. Thanks

Check with Wilwood or Baer. I'm sure they have just what you are looking for.

Gene,

One of these might do: https://www.speedwaymotors.com/shop/...2-55-713-3-495

One of the complications may be the emergency brake. You might do better by calling them or maybe Summit.

Or if money's not a problem: https://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Br...%20Brake%20Kit perhaps one of these will work ;-)

Wilwood also has mechanical parking brakes. https://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/Cal...4%20Mechanical

Speedmaster has an aluminum caliper setup with integral parking brake. Single 1.75" piston. Fits 11" rotors (not included). Fits Ford 9" rear end with "small ends" (Torino). I have no idea whether that's what you have, but you should be able to figure it out with a few measurements.

Speedmaster also offers a "Ford Late Model Large & Small Bearing 4 Piston 12" Rear Brake Kit". Aluminum calipers and mechanical drum parking brakes. Drilled and slotted rotors.
