Disc brake research

Post by m1dadio Sun Nov 28, 2010 9:41 am

If you haven’t purchased calipers and hoses for your M1D brackets then hold off a bit.
The past three weekends and every week night have be dedicated to disc brake research and communicating with others about their install and service issues. Including spending $350 for test pieces.

I have gained much useful information on parts and servicing of all the disc brake options currently available and will right up a report shortly.

Awesome!

I have the M1D brackets, but have not purchased calipers or hoses yet... eagerly awaiting your findings!

I have the research books for parts. It lists all rotors made and all their dimensions and part numbers. I used it for designing my AMC setup for the Econolines. Let me know what sizes you need?? I look for rotor thickness, vented or non vented, hat height and hub hole size as well as the lug size and pattern. Its all listed. DIFFICULT book to get your hands on.
