Ford 9" disc brake upgrade question
I am going to install disc brakes on my Model A ,9" ford. I want to know if anybody has an opinion as to where the caliper should go, front or back. I have looked at a lot of new cars w/4 wheel disc and everybody puts them in different locations.

These are the rears as you asked. The fronts are on the back side.
    Either way works fine - if you can figure a way for that e-brake cable to run. I did mine in the front so I would have a good run without a sharp bend. You just swap the parts side to side. Dave W

I'm running a Ford 9 inch on my 56 Ford truck. I did the conversion using a kit and GM Cadillac calipers. My calipers on at the 10:00 oclock postition toward the rear of the wheel. No problems with braking or ebrake. Not sure if it matters if the caliper is front or rear?

I even looked at some over seas type cars (Mazda,Porsh,Nissan) and they all have calipers in different locations too.
