Overview
The 4262193FR, shown in Fire Red, is a 13-inch six-piston rear brake system for Ford 9 Inch Torino (late big) bearing housing ends on a 5×5.00 inch wheel bolt pattern. It has a fixed caliper and a two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor with a 13.0 inch outside diameter.
The mounting plate carries a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, so parking brake hardware is part of the package. Rotors come ready assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, and braided hoses are also supplied. The 13 inch Pro Plus is meant for most wheels of 17 inches and up, but fit cannot be ensured for each wheel style, so check the Q082H template before mounting a wheel.
Key features
- Six-piston caliper with staggered pistons, designed to reduce uneven pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals that protect against dust, weather and pressure
- Caliper CNC machined in the US from forged or billet aluminum, then powder coated
- Two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Hardware comes assembled on the rotor from the factory
- Park brake shoe assembly integrated into the backing plate
Break-in and first trail runs
New pads and a new rotor need a short bedding-in period before they perform as expected. Make several moderate stops from a steady speed without locking the wheels, letting the surfaces transfer an even layer of friction material. Avoid holding the brakes at a stop for long periods while the pads are still settling, since uneven transfer can cause vibration later.
On the trail, the rear brakes are used for controlled descents as much as for normal stops. Check the wheel bolts and clearance after the first few drives, and look for heat discoloration on the rotor or dust trails on the wheel. Keep the park brake adjusted so it holds on grades, and recheck it after the first week of use.
- Bed in pads with moderate stops before hard use
- Check wheel clearance against the template after install
- Look for heat marks on the rotor after descents

Vehicle fitment
Baer gives no vehicle year, make or model for this kit. The one fitment reference is the rear Ford 9 Inch Torino (late big) bearing axle flange, so the rear axle on the vehicle must be verified before the kit is considered a match.
Installation notes
- Fit-check the wheel with the Q082H template before final assembly.
- The backing plate holds the park brake shoe assembly, so adjust and test the parking brake once the unit is installed.
