Hot Rods Identifying disc brake kit on my 1936 Plymouth

If anyone could identify this disc brake set up on my 1936 Plymouth stock axle would greatly be appreciated I'm stumped

I was reading somewhere that you could possibly use a disc brake kit off an F1

But looks like these are still stock spindles

 

No adapter plate?

 

Never have seen a caliper like that!!!

Ray

 

No adapter kit no brackets nothing

 

Looks like a older Corvette caliper

 

Does look like a "Old Dadys Rusty Hope" kit

 

Bolt pattern?

 

Mopar 5 on 4.5

 

Interesting, Ford or Dodge Hub I wonder?
How do they work?

Nope no adapter plate...

 

A match on rotors is easy. The caliper, European?

 

Looks like Volvo. Solid rotor ,correct bolt pattern and caliper.

 

Try taking out and IDing the bearings, then go to NAPA's sight or others and see what vehicles the
bearings cross too. Check those listings against the rotors. Calipers have a number on them, a good
counterman at your local parts house can probably ID them from that.

 

Ford Ranger 2 wheel drive Rotor hub assembly?

 

Finding a knolegeable counter man is going be hard to do.

 

The hairpins and chatter spring in the caliper remind me of MGB stuff, but they did not have 4 pistons. Odd looking 'chamber' on the back side... might be Locheed.

 

A Ranger rotor would be vented. I'm thinking it's a rear rotor off of something.

Volvo used 5x5 1/2 bolt on rotors also.

 

'66 and '67 B-body Chrysler products had 4-piston calipers. And that bolt pattern. But I can't remember what the rotors look like. Just wondering...what does the car look like??

 

Agreed on the Volvo-esque brakes. You can see between the studs what looks like plugged BP. I was thinking 140 series but it may be 120 series. Girling I think is the caliper maker.

EDIT:

 

I had the Volvo disc brakes on a 1940 Ford in 1971. 4 1/2 bolt circle.

 

Volvo discs were a common conversion in the 70's.

 

Look like Jaguar calipers but cant really tell, pull the calipers or try and get a better pic of how they mount, jag rotors could have been adapted to the plymouth hubs

 

heres 1972 jag xj6, they had non vented rotors, 73 went to vented rotors.

Did you ever find out what the front brakes are on the 36 Plymouth? Thanks Mark
