Re: DIY Disc Brake Conversion
Well thank you all for the responses.
Imdanderous, I went to Oreilly's, just to see which rotor would work better, and the ford rotor seems to sit awfully far back. Now while that's good for caliper clearance, I'm afraid it will make the caliper mounting bracket more difficult then I care to make it.
I too felt that turning it down was unsafe, so I opted to use one of the mills at our school. First picture is our 3D modeling software. I just made a model of the outside, because that's all I'm worried about. Then the next 2 pictures are of the renderings of how the mill will cut everything out. and last 2 is of the mill working on the first hub. We're having problems making sure the hub is perfectly lined up, but I think I have a solution for that. At least one of the hubs will guaranteed be done by next friday.
