Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262720R is a 10.5 inch rear disc brake kit for Ford 9 inch Torino bearing housing ends, sized for axles with staggered rear shocks. It is a drum to disc conversion built around a red powder coated caliper, a 1-piece rotor and stainless braided hoses.
The Classic series is a conversion for smaller wheels, with a minimum wheel diameter of 14.0 inch. Fit into every wheel style cannot be guaranteed, so use the template to check clearance against the chosen wheel before deciding on a setup.
The axle flange is Ford 9 inch Torino/late big bearing, and the wheel bolt pattern is 5×4.75.
Key features
- Floating single-piston caliper with integral park brake
- Red powder coated finish
- Slotted, dimpled and zinc plated 1-piece solid rotor
- Stainless braided hoses with DOT approval
- D0627 FMSI pad with ceramic friction material
- Performance grade
Torino axle housing notes
Torino and late big bearing housing ends use a different flange arrangement from earlier axles, so the bracket fit is tied to the specific housing. Before ordering, look at the housing ends and confirm the flange shape and the staggered shock mounts, since the parts only line up when both match the application.
The hub is the other point to check. Inspect the hub face for rust or damage, look over the wheel studs and test the bearing play before the rotor goes on. Cleaning the mounting surface helps the rotor sit flat, which supports even pad contact and steady braking after the conversion.
- Confirm the flange matches the Torino/late application
- Check staggered shock mount positions
- Inspect the hub face and wheel studs
- Test bearing play before fitting the rotor

Vehicle fitment
It is made for the Ford 9 inch Torino/late big bearing housing ends with staggered rear shocks. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering, including the axle flange and shock layout.
Early big bearing housing ends and non-staggered shock applications are a different setup and are not covered here. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Confirm the Torino/late big bearing housing ends and the staggered shock mounts on your axle, since bracket fit depends on them. Use the V120V template to check that the wheel clears the 10.5 inch rotor and the caliper. A brake conversion is safety critical, so have it installed and bled by a shop or builder with disc conversion experience.
What’s included
The package contains rear calipers, rotors, brackets, hardware, and stainless braided hoses with the fittings that connect them.
Not included: The kit leaves out park brake cables, which are offered as a separate item.
