Re: DIY Disc Brake Conversion

When I lined up the rotor I simply took the lug nuts and tightened them up with a Impact wrench.( the tapered lug nuts centered the rotor - Magnetic dial indicator was well with in spec.) I didn't figure that there would be a need to be much more accurate than that. I also got around the deep rotor by using the overlapping caliper bracket ( look at the pics I sent you- close)that set it back far enough that I didn't have to use a bunch of spacers and junk on the brackets where it bolts to the spindle.I figured that would be the weakest place and show the greatest load.
If I had your skills and access to those kinda machines I would have done the same. Your ideas are dead on, and in the end more accurate. You also can reproduce the info so that it could be applied to any machine in the country.Making this only easier for the next guy that wants to do this. Its gonna be good -and I just like the way that the stock front and rear axles look-Carry on Brother - Carry on-
