Dual Personality rear Uprights ( Handy Andy?? )
Is there any reason that rear uprights can not be made to accept either drum or disk? Looking at the book it would just be a case of the Plate being a slightly different shape and drilled and tapped for 8 mounts.
Or is there a clearance issue? It would give builders the option to change their setup at a later date without extra cost. TT |
The first thing that springs to my mind is ..........On the drum set up, the drum backplate is rebated to the same profile as the RU plate on the upright ;)
Might be possible with a re-design of the uprights but the most obvious choice if unsure of what you want, is to make the uprights to suit drums & if the need arises, buy some adapters from 3GE for disc conversion :) |
i would totally agree with Ronnie on this, go with the std book spec uprights & if fitting discs then use an adapter plate to alter the angle of dangle so to speak,
Tho i would like to say that the Roadster behaves perfectly well brake balanced with drums on the rear, Spud69,s car has drum rear brakes & the braking is superb, we went on a track day & i couldn,t believe how late Spud was braking :eek: , totally safe & controlled, & i,m an ex bike racer who is used to late braking on the track, for my own build i,m sticking with drums, as thats what i have from my donor. cheers andy |
Some people have had to fit brake bias valves to stop the rear discs locking up before the fronts, i have drum rear and find them perfect.

TBH, I am quite happy with the idea of standard drums on the rear. I can't see them being over stretched... And if they were then the 10" XR4i drums should stop it.
I just have all the disk bits lying arround :rolleyes: . The Drums are a lot more reliable though! TT |
