Rear Discs
I raised a thread a long time ago which discussed the the disc brake arrangement. This has however subsequently been deleted; but for the benefit of any new forum members I will raise a new one.
It basically says: Don't make the rear uprights to the book spec!!!! I have spent the last 5 hours milling and boring out the old welds from RU7 & RU8 plate! Hope this saves someone the headache of what Dad and I went through today! Before

That's looking a much better angle for the rear calipers Nick
I bet you had great fun seperating that plate from the upright .... Not

What exactly is wrong with the book design? Are we talking about the 1st revision orientation issue, or another issue?

Caliper hits the shock mount.

This is what we eventually levered off after milling of all the weld.....
The second revision book specification is still wrong for this item, or at least it is for a standard sierra brake caliper!

Just thought I'd let people who have already made their disc rear uprights according to the book, that all is not lost! My standard sierra callipers fitted upside down, no problem, and a disc handbrake cable from Westfield at £22 fits perfectly without any cutting! Happy days!
Only problem is that the bleed nipple is at the bottom of the calliper, but if you can build a car, I reckon you can probably work out how to bleed the upside down calliper! Cheers Adrian Last edited by adrianreeve : 23rd March 2010 at 07:16 PM. |

Well done Adrian, I did not try it in that position! Are you using disc guards as well? I have not forgotten about the CAD drawing. I am on week four of the Autocad evening course so I can now turn the PC on and Login! Will you have finished your car before I finish the 18 week course?? haha

No, not using the disc guards. It all fits together really well without, and I'm really glad, coz I didn't want to pay out for more uprights! Cheers Adrian |
