Re: DIY Disc Brake Conversion

I might be barking up the wrong tree but I noticed Speedway's 1/2 ton hub kit (billet hubs) used easily found 3500 lb trailer axle bearings.
I wonder if a trailer bearing & race set could be found that would either tap into place or wouldn't take too much machine work on the heavier hubs? Depending on local labor costs, might be cheaper / easier than tracking down a custom bearing.
