14 Bolt Disc Brake Conversion Kit (SRW w/ C&C Hubs)

14 Bolt Disc Brake Conversion Kit (SRW w/ C&C Hubs)

Our disc brake conversion kits are the best conversion to eliminate drum brakes, in many cases it is less expensive to switch to disc brakes than to rebuild drum brakes. Changing from drum brakes to disc brakes is easy, and all the parts you need to complete the conversion and get rid of those heavy drum brakes are included in this kit.

Using a 14 bolt axle makes sense, using a C&C 14 bolt axle also makes sense. Sometimes you have one and want the other. These brackets are for those of you that have a SRW 14 Bolt housing with a set of C&C hubs and want an axle in between 65" & 69". The hubs are interchangeable so it is an easy operation where you get the strength of a full floating 14 bolt in a narrower width for an off road application. The SRW 14 Bolt axle is a very popular conversion and with the C&C hubs you can get the narrower width (65-66) you want. The weight savings on a standard full floating 14 bolt are substantial you save well over 70lbs swapping to discs!

Both the 14 Bolt SRW & C&C axle are common in Chevy trucks from 1972 until today in the 3/4 to 1 ton range. It was stock on service trucks, flatbeds, crewcabs, motor homes, and even some delivery vans (bread vans).

Complete Kit Includes:

• 1 Pair 14 Bolt C&C/SRW Disc Brake Brackets
• 2 Weld on Brake Line Tabs
• 2 Brake Line Clips
• 2 Brake Calipers
• 2 Hydraulic Hoses with Banjo Bolt Fittings (Your hard line requires a 3/8-24" inverted flare fitting for these hoses to bolt to)
• Standard Calipers come with 10mm Banjo Bolts. El Dorado Calipers come with 7/16" Banjo Bolts
  
• 4 New Brake Pads
• 2 New Rotors

Note

• If longer studs are needed, usually dually studs are long enough. Double check stud diameter, studs should drop freely into the rotor. DO NOT press studs into the rotor. If your hub has too large of studs you will need to drill the rotors to accept them. Be sure to have minimum 5/8" lug nut thread engagement once wheels are installed
  
• Rotor installs onto the backside of the hub!
• Don't forget to re-bleed your brakes once you've installed your new conversion kit.
• An adjustable proportioning valve is recommended, this will allow you to fine tune your front/rear stopping power bias. Your front axle should always do about 70% of the work.
• If your vehicle has a residual valve (can be located within the master cylinder or externally) you will want to remove it. Not doing so can cause your rear brakes to drag or lock up
• These are for using single rear wheels only.
