This kit lets you mount late model Ford rotors and calipers on your 1998-2012 Crown Victoria solid axle (Chassis Code EN114). This axle is commonly swapped into projects, and although it already has disc brakes, the parking brake setup is clunky and hard to adapt. Often, the parking brake is never hooked back up after an axle swap. This is a problem, especially with manual transmission cars and off-road vehicles. Not to mention that the brakes are 20+ years old and could probably use a re-fresh, so why not upgrade?

This kit adapts the axle to fit 2020+ explorer/interceptor/aviator brakes which uses an integrated electric parking brake on the calipers. There are two rotor/caliper combos available- a smaller solid rotor version found on the base Explorer (fits 17” wheels) and a large, vented disc version found on higher trim Explorers, Police Interceptors and Lincoln Aviators (fits 18” + wheels). This kit fits both variants. The kit includes the brackets, hardware, connectors, control switch, and breaker required to operate the parking brake. You will need to supply the rotors and calipers (make sure the rotor and caliper are for the same application)

The advantage of the electric parking brake is obvious if you have ever adapted a mechanical one before- It is much easier to route electrical wires than adapt heavy pull cables, and make sure leverage ratios work together. And the holding power of the electric calipers is superb, extremely reliable, and easy to operate. There is a reason most modern vehicles now use them.

INSTRUCTION

 

Note: 1998-2002 Crown Victoria rear axles differ from the 2003-2012 model years. This brake adapter kit works with both axles, but install orientation is different. It also accommodates the ABS sensors.

This kit can be installed symmetrically (both calipers toward the rear of the vehicle) or staggered (one forward, one back like the stock arrangement 98-02). To run a staggered setup you will need two driver side calipers from the explorer to keep the bleed nipple oriented up.

Solves the problems

Really happy I found this conversion. I was swapping a 2000 rear axel into a 2010 swapped 61 F100 Unibody for better wheel choice. Not only did I need too hook up the parking brake, but I had to also adapt the 2000 axel to the 2010 E brake set up. This solved the problems and gave me 14 inch brakes and the electric E brake using the Explorer Police Interceptor brake package. Swapping axels also required some changes to brake lines so needing to do the same for the swap to the Explorer brakes wasn't a big deal. The adapter brackets went on easily and everything bolted right up like factory The only adaptation I had to do was trim a little off the passenger side ABS sensor to get it to seat and bolt to line up. I got all the explorer parts from a wreaking yard for 60 bucks, but you can buy new caliper mounts, calipers and hoses for @ $650 from OEM parts. I'm running 18 inch wheels. Thank you Range!
