Default Re: Finally added front disc brakes

Is this what you're after? Spindle is like 3.25" plus a 1.5" spacer. Not sure if that spacer is OEM or something TerraToys added.

Air Junky, I live i liberty lake also, would you be willing to let me take a look at your brake setup? I think we are fairly close as live off of Garry. I have a Rhox BMF 7" lift and want to see if I can make the jakes work before buying.

Cheers

Please keep me in the loop if the disc brake kit can be made to work easily with the RHOX lift kit.
Thanks!!

Joe Bob says two thumbs way up!

A couple pics I took along the way.....
I wanted disc brakes all the way around, but hydraulic with a real parking brake.
You are correct the calipers are made by WilWood, I bought there "Hydra-Mechanical" rear calipers. I used a WilWood tandem master cylinder to pump them up. I have an old school parking brake lever. I had to install 2psi residual pressure valves in the brake lines so it wouldn't loose its "pedal". I made all of the parts - caliper supports and master cylinder mount and pedal. I had to machine the caliper studs - don't screw up - there 15.00 a piece to replace and I had to get 4.
Now I have a rebuilt differential with 8 to 1 gears and a modified shift shaft that has a neutral slot machined into it for a positive position lock. Just finished it last night.

Shepard.. do you have part numbers for the rear calipers and rotors? I would appreciate if you would be so kind as to share your knowledge with me.
Thanks in advance.
