I would call eTrailer.com on the phone

very helpful people, they have brake kits for a lot of different type axles and brake sizes.

Might try Rockauto since you know what rear axle is installed.

If you are thinking that bolt-on calipers and rotors should work perfect from a parts store, you might fine that's not true. You'll probably need special mount plates to properly mount them, and delay valves for proper braking. Instead of discovering all that once you're fully involved, you might give Motor Trike a call. Some trike companies have ready to install kits available.

Have you tried to get in touch with motor trike or a dealer? They should have a change over kit available.

Try Jim Murphy over here. They were making disc brake conversion kits for older drum brake Lehman trikes with similar rear ends.

M&J Motorworks is no longer in business. We have been searching for other manufacturers who can supply disk brake conversion kits for the older Lehman Trikes with 4 lug Ford Pinto, Mustang II, Granda etc rear differentials.

You might try Wilwood Brakes, they sell hot rod brakes for a lot of old cars.

Try to learn from the mistakes of others..... you won't live long enough to make them all yourself!
