disc brake upgrade

[cgtech]

The ausco cable disc brakes (like ScottyB sells) are easily the best improvement for the money. "Juice" brakes could probably be even better. I have a Wheelsca setup that I have not tried yet (I want to try to make it a hybrid setup using it in the rear & Jake's setup in the front for a 4 wheel disc setup). Please don't ask "how does it work" or "is it done yet" (unless your name happens to be Lane), I have a job, 2 daily driver cars to keep running, child, and many other projects that are in front of that idea. I have not been impressed at all with the Jake's setup alone, because of how it "links up" with the factory brake pedal (too much wiggle/slop for any positive brake feel). Jake's kit = does it improve things some? , YES... Does it feel like "juice" brakes on a car? Not in the slightest bit... That's just my opinion. (as far as I know Wheelsca does not make any brake kits anymore, could be wrong).

Wheelsca is not out of business, They simply abandoned the golf cart brake end of their business. Their own fix for this problem was a split and pinch design. And for a while I sold this improved design. I also split and pinched stock hubs and sold those. This worked okay but, I was always conflicted over the pinch fix with the manufactures recommended 100 plus pound torque on the castle nut.

Do you torque, then pinch ? Anyway you do it they conflict each other during the install.

We have been selling lots of the Ausco hardened hub kits and disc brake kits over the last 4-5 years. They results and reviews are good. There is an install thread in the stickies at the top of this section.

When I talk to the guy I bought my brakes system from inside the people making the HERBS closed up he didn't offer any kind a fix for me just said sorry
