Rear Discs

[Spikehaus]

I tried it in almost every position I could think off! The main issue is that the calliper cannot run freely in any position without either the handbrake cable or the brake pipe fowling on the lower wishbone.

I am not sure how you will modify it if you do not have the correct tools, it took dad and I 4 hours and that was using a Pro 3000 Mill MX2 mill. Hope you find a way to get round it.

I bought the made up version from 3GE so I don't even have the jig to align everything if I did manage to get it apart.

I'll give them a call on Monday and see what they think - sounds like it may be cheaper to get a new pair than to pay someone to disassemble and re-weld the existing ones.

Can you do me a favour and let me know the exact angle that the plates need to be at.

Thanks

Hi, mine are set at 45 degrees rearward from the upright like yours spike
handbrake cable runs nicely to caliper just need to cut off end and shorten inner cable
planning on a bracket hanging between upper wishbone mounts to keep cable out of the way of wishbones
no pics at mo if anyone wants pics ill take some

I will not be in the workshop where the car lives again now until Saturday, so will do it then. I pretty much just lined the RU8 plate right hand upper hole to align vertically to the upright. (Just remember to make each one a reverse so each other) I am sure 3GE can make you a new one. As for the old ones, stick them on e bay. You are sure to sell it super quick. .

I forgot to say, I also have a reason why I want to wait till the weekend.....I am starting a 14 week AutoCAD course that starts tomorrow night. So this will be my first project to be able to send you a CAD drawing! Its about time I put my design skills onto paper!

Thanks

There's no hurry, I won't have time to do anything on the car until the weekend either.

Good luck with the course.

I did AutoCad at uni back in 1992, I guess it's moved on abit ( except in how much it costs )

I did mine to the book, ive just put my rear caliper up side down works a treat, harder to bleed but handbrake cable is at the top as it should be
