Overall Assessment

The product is appreciated for its quality and user-friendly installation. Many customers found it fitted their vehicles perfectly, underlining its practicality. The zinc finish is commended for durability, and the plasma cuts for their neatness. However, modification was needed for some models. The kit is overall considered good value for money, particularly when compared to higher-priced competitors like Wilwood. Customers recommended it mainly for the 9" back end, underlining its performance and versatility. Most customers would purchase the product again. There were a few negative comments about lack of bolts and instructions.

Used on a Scout 2 with modification

Nice zinc finish and realy good plasma cutss for nice edges and holes. Was hoping the offset was similar to the Fords, but the ears where the bracket for the caliper mounts to the bracket that bolts to the wheel bearing retainer interfere with the rotors. My solution was to cut off half the bracket that would normally mount on the bearing retainer and welded it to the axle tube. Lucky for me I happen to have a welder and doing a custom build anyway.

the whole package appeared complete and

found the support brackets to be bent or warpped, which in turn caused alighnment problems between the caliper and the slide pins. Chuck

Great product and did exactly what I wanted. Bolted right up to a 9" axle flanged end. Only problem I had was had to disassemble to remove the axle. I grinded down part of the T bolts to where they would side out and remove the assembly, and then able to get axle out/in.

Good quality kit. Fit was very good. Not sure if bolts are supposed to be included or not, but would have been nice to have the bolts included that attach the caliper brackets with the spacers.

The description states that if installed on an axle with 1/2" bolts the 3/8" hardware must be used. How does that work? Won't the 3/8 bolts fit too loosely in the axle flange holes and allow caliper movement?
