No, the 1995-97 rotors are different, the "hat" of the rotor is shorter.

In essence the friction disc has been moved outwards relative to
the bearings by approximatly 8mm.

I'm gathering pieces for the install of '95 to '97 twin piston caliper brakes on my '91 2wd Ranger.

What about the master cylinder? Do I go with the Gen II unit or can/should I upgrade to the '95-'97 master?

I converted to manual/non boosted brakes and if it makes any difference, I'm also planning the 10" rear brake upgrade. Either way I'll be installing a new master just need to know which one to buy.

Thanks,
Mike

I'm running the Gen2 master cyl in mine and it's fine.

BTW, don't assume that anyone actually checks for replies
against these "stickied" posts

If you have a question make a new post.
