This blueprint-style reference diagram illustrates ten different Ford rear axle brake flange (axle housing end) patterns with their key dimensions. The top row shows: Small Ford (2.835" center hole DIA, 2.000" bolt spacing height, 3.336" bolt spacing width), Big Ford (3.150" DIA, 2.375", 3.500"), Big Ford New Style (3.150" DIA, 2.000", 3.562"), the 8.8" '94-04 flange (3.410" x 1.680" bolt pattern, 3.076" width, 2.840" tubing O.D.), and the Mustang 05-up flange (3.746" x 2.304", 3.190" tubing O.D.). The bottom row shows Bronco-specific variants with 5 x 5.50" bolt circles: Small Ford-Bronco (I.D. 0.391"), Big Ford-Bronco (I.D. 0.560"), and Big Ford New Style-Bronco (I.D. 0.391"), plus the 8.8" Ford Special (3.150" tubing O.D.) and the 8.8" '04-14 flange (3.76" x 1.65", 2.840" tubing O.D., with 'right bottom / left top' orientation note).
