Re: DIY Disc Brake Conversion

Thanks Burgerman, I don't have brackets yet, That last picture was me just holding it in place. I'm going to pick up some 3/8" steel plate and make mine out of that. I'll post the drawings out so everyone can make their own if they wanted to. But I like where whitedog76 is going. When you make your on, you shouldn't have to worry about what thickness metal you need. It'll fit just the same with 1/4" or 3/8".
Whitedog, that looks pretty slick!

Anyone else think it's interesting that they had tapered roller bearing standard in 1936 on the rear axle, but kept the front axle the same with normal bearings?
