Desert Driver Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 A previous owner installed aftermarket disc brakes on my '84. Pads extend about a half inch above the rotors, and there's no parking brake capability. So we ordered the Turner disc conversion and learned the axle has larger backing flanges than the Studebaker/Newman Altman built Avantis, plus the bolt pattern is off. Doing a deep dive in AOAI archives, I get the feeling I'm not alone in having this problem. The names Jeep and International Harvester occasionally are mentioned. Gotta have rear brakes for my ride. Suggestions?? On the left, the correct retaining plate. The one on the right is from my car. Mismatch on bearings, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 I have bearing and inner and outer rear axle seal part numbers if you should need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstude Posted Saturday at 11:55 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:55 PM Can you take a picture of the brakes and the rear axle housing. It will help immensely. There also may be tags attached to the differential bolts that can tell the tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
