C6ZO6 caliper & parking brake brackets for a Ford 9" from KORE
 
Got these today and thought I'd share some pics. For those that are running C6ZO6 brakes on a Ford 9", KORE's new bracket kit will allow you to simply bolt the calipers on and use the OEM drum-in-hat parking brake. It's an extremely nice and complete kit, the plating is great, the machining on the backing plate is like art, and all fasteners are included, which are grade 8. The instructions are are extremely detailed, too.

Yep, I'm running the new big style/Torino bearings, but this kit is available in 3 different 9" housing end bolt patterns.

Looks great Scott !! Great machine work on the backing plates. I'm constantly amazed at what we can buy for our cars now. Looking forward to seeing the completed deal. Thx !

i was looking for these a couple of weeks ago too, but ended up going with Wilwood, I just got my front brackets and lines from Tobin also, Scott is right VERY top notch stuff with pages and pages of instructions- Chris:thumbsup:

Nice. Definately worth the wait... I'll be ordering mine soon.

Sweet setup. Definitely on my list for future upgrades.

deuce_454 03-20-2008 12:14 PM

Nice brackets... i just dont like the drum in hat system, it always seem to sieze up on street cars, or not work when you need it to.. but on a PT car where everything is maintaines beyond reason :D i guess its fine...

I think that the kore3 stuff is real nice i got the rear e-brake setup and front kit for the c6 zo6 brakes aswell but for a 12-bolts looks cool too :cool:

ProTouring442 03-21-2008 06:32 AM

Yes! yes, yes, yes, yes! Yeeee-haaa! Yes!

Ok, the point is, I was looking for someone to make these!

Installed the parking brake assembly this weekend. What a great kit.

Parking brake cables will be here this week and that job will be done.

Scott-

Thanks for showing the install; I'm very interested.

What about the rear swaybar? Did you make that?

Jeff

ohcbird 03-25-2008 11:12 PM

Im going to put a 9 inch in my Camaro and yesterday was given a complete set of C6 calipers . What 9 inch housing should I look for ,is one better than the other???

XcYZ 03-26-2008 06:55 AM

I have the Torino style big bearing housing ends and that's what I'd recommend. Its 2.5" housing face to axle flange gives enough room for the DIH parking brake.

Here's what Tobin at KORE told me about his brackets and Ford housings:

As far as applications go, the kit is only compatible with the Big-Bearing Torino style housing and soon to be the Small-Bearing housing as well. The old style Big-Bearing housing with 1/2" T-bolts will probably not happen due to the very short brake offset dimension of 2.36"...it's causing interference issues between components that we may not be able to get around without excessive tweaking.

Thanks!

So, from this chart, it looks as though I have the "Big Ford (New Style) housings. Is this what I need for this kit? I hope!
