    Great idea for an upload, wish I did this when my 8.8 bearing was leaking

    Thanks for sharing. Tin Soldiers stuff is awesome and I am having a real hard time deciding what to do. I enjoy the welding but lack of experience and time has me leaning towards buying housing complete.

    Check out the dirt track chassis suppliers they all have weld on caliper mounting brackets for the Wilwood calipers that are radius for the 3” axle tube, 15$ each, easy fix to be able to use your existing rotors

      @fox-body  Před 2 lety

      The bar was 180 on summit. The alignment puck I made was free. I had the material. I did buy the carrier alignment pucks, Those were 85.

      How do they perform with a manual brake cylinder ?

  • @mchristr
    @mchristr Před 2 lety +2

    Can you get thicker brake pads and reuse the calipers? For example, Ford uses the same calipers for the 94-98 Cobra and non-Cobra, and just specs thinner pads for the vented rotor.

    • @fox-body
      @fox-body  Před 2 lety

      I’m not sure. I ended up reusing the rotors.

    🤔 so you'd have to use axles for a 9" ?

    • @fox-body
      @fox-body  Před rokem

      Yes. You order axles with pressed on bearings for the 9inch ends.
