Drivetrain / Disc Brake Install /w pictures
« on: February 18, 2009, 08:03:06 pm »
I recently installed a disc brake arrangement that may be of interest to anyone wanting to upgrade to hydraulic brakes.

Brake Parts Source

Rotor used on a 1993 Ford Festiva   8.25 diamenter      Caliper used on a 2004 Chev Impala (rear wheel)

-weld a 3/8 steel round plate on to the differential yoke and machine  the O.D. to fit the I.D. of the brake rotor rotor
-machine or grind out clearance to slip the rotor over top of the yoke
-mark out a bolt pattern (5/16) 4 holes minimum to attach the rotor the the machined yoke flange
-cut a 3/16 plate caliper mounting bracket and 2 gussets
-mount your rotor on to the pinion shaft and clamp the caliper on to the rotor to line it up to weld the supporting plate on to the differential
-use a shim spacer between the welded plate and the caliper to accommodate any alignment issues in the future

I hope this will be of some help.Feel free to contact me if you require more information

Drivetrain / Bombardier track pitch
« on: January 22, 2007, 08:34:41 pm »
Hello 
I recently aquired a 1975 Bombardier and I would like to run it a while before I change the belts and sprockets.I notice sprocket wear and I wonder if this is caused by track stretch as well as normal wear.What should the track pitch be on a machine like this.
Thank you
