Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262197GB is a rear Pro Plus disc brake kit for Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) Bearing housing ends. Its 6-piston 6P caliper is finished in Grabber Blue and grips a 14 inch two-piece rotor that is slotted, drilled and zinc plated.
Grabber Blue applies to the caliper only. The backing plate carries the caliper and holds a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly. The pad type listed is D0731, and Baer’s Q082P template is the reference for checking wheel fit.
Key features
- 6P caliper with a 6-piston design, stainless pistons and stainless abutments.
- Powder coated caliper in Grabber Blue.
- Stainless steel noise suppression clips.
- Staggered pistons help even out pad wear.
- Dual seals keep out dust and weather and hold pressure.
- Billet aluminum hat on a two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor.
- NAS high grade stainless hardware comes pre-assembled with the rotors.
- DOT approved brake hose, and braided hoses plus hardware are part of the kit.
Caring for the finish
Powder coated calipers resist chips and road grime well, but brake dust and road salt can still dull the finish over time. Rinse the caliper and wheel area after muddy or salted trips, and avoid harsh solvents on the coating. Small chips can be touched up, while larger damage is worth addressing before corrosion starts beneath the coating.
The finish is cosmetic and does not change how the braking system works. Braking performance depends more on pad selection, rotor condition and fluid. When replacing pads, clean the caliper slide pins and confirm the pads move freely, since a sticking caliper can cause uneven wear whatever its color.
- Rinse brake components after off-road or salted-road use
- Use mild cleaners rather than solvents on powder coat
- Inspect slide pins and pad movement at each pad change
- Touch up chips before corrosion spreads
