I'm not sure about 8.8 disks, but I know ZJ disks require opening the backing plate up, redrilling the bolt pattern in the rotor, and adapting the e-brake (if you care about that part). That's the route I went on my 8.25 at about the same time Travis did it to his 44 and redrilling the rotors was the only thing he did differently.

I figured out how to do 2 pics in the same post, yay me the toob along the fender has 3 bends in 2 different planes, pretty snazzy if ya ask me. Not bad for our first go with the bender anywho :dunno:

To put 8.8 discs on the 44 you just need to oval out the 4 mounting holes, dont need to touch the center big hole.

To put zj discs on a 8.25 you dont need to touch the mounting holes, but need to open up the big center hole.

Idk about putting zj discs on a 44, but the 8.8 ones were easy IMO

Oh... you just used ZJ rotors with crown vic calipers.... That's what it was.

Dunno why you'd have to redrill rotors to put them on another 5x4.5 axle, but all the rest makes sense to me!

Tough loss for the bruins at the end tonight. They started off strong, but couldn't close it, awesome game otherwise. I didn't see Ross there though.

I used explorer 8.8 backing plates/calipers/pads, and zj rotors. I forget what the reason was for the zj rotors to be honest, something to to with the hat height

I think you're right, hat height was the issue.

Tube work looks pretty sweet :yelclap:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Thanks dudez

and bill, i was calling earlier wth a couple bender related questions but we got it figured out more or less. The grill hoop took forever but once we started understanding it more it went a lot better/faster...when i do my cage though, id like to maybe steal you for a saturday just to coach me through the a-pillars, if youre free at some point. I still havent ordered tube or done the rocker replacements, so it'll still be a while.

thanks for the reminder. I'm going to pick up a bench grinder from them and hopefully can use it as a buffer as well. they have them cheaper than anyone else and I only realllllly need it for a one time use.
