I would like to run 80's El Dorado Calipers in the rear of my Cherokee, I pretty much have it all put together I just have one issue i am running into. I am planning on running a Rotor from an 81 CJ that is .88 thick and good till .82".
The original Caliper for an El Dorado is 1.02 inches thick and is good till .96". Will that work? It seems like there is plenty of throw in the wheel cylinder, and there is only 8 hundredths difference between the max and the minimum disc thickness. I dont drive this jeep that much so it is not going to go through brakes all that fast. I figure as long as I have new pads and a new rotor it should be fine.
I like these rotors because I can use them without redrilling anything (I am changing to 5 on 5.5 at the same time) but i would like to hear if anyone else has a better suggestion
