Thread: Replacement Rear axles that Fit 1946 Ford Coupe?

Tweet

go adjustable, dont use the explorer set up. keep in mind, the explorer had 4 wheel abs. im pretty sure it was all through the abs and there was no seperate prop valve. as tudorkieth said, you should keep your prop valve correct to your brake set up. ie...4 wheel disc or front disc rear drum...etc. sure the car will stop mix matched, but not well or safely.

also assuming your running the stock master location, the explorer booster, and most other boosters for that matter, is probably too big to fit under the floor.

i would not use the stock 46 master. drake and other suppliers have adapters to run a dual chamber master to your factory pedal and bracket. run the proper residual valves and an adjustable prop valve. lol...i found out real quick what happens when a wheel cylinder blows out and you loose all the brake fluid to one wheel. when its a single chamber master, you loose ALL brakes.
