Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I have been working on my shop the last few weeks but today I figured out my brake caliper bracket, kinda. Wilwood does not make this kit for a straight axle. They also don't make this kit for a Chevy or Furd spindle pin profile. It requires a Heidts (probably spelled wrong but to tired to look it up) spindle profile. I had a Heidts pin put in a early Furd spindle. Super Bell custom made the axle. The brakes are 12.88" six piston Nickle plated calipers. So I have the brackets that fit the spindle and I have the brackets for the calipers. I also want to clock the caliper to the rear to match the back. Now I just need to mind meld them together. My engineer did such a great job on the spindles that the wheel side of the bracket will be flush at the seam. I was thinking of some kind of registration notch in the weld seam for strength. They are 6061 aluminum. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Sorry so long. Thank you for your time.
