  • Russians disc brakes on Aspire rear mock up

    The Russian stopped by to check clearance on his disc brake bracket on the Aspire rear end. Looks like there should be plenty of clearance. Im hoping we can get a EGT ebrake cable to work on the set up.

    How much does the track width increase with that setup?

      i dont think its going to be much, maybe less then a 1/8 of a inch. his bracket goes between the spindle where the drum backing plate goes which was maybe 1/16 of a inch. his plate i believe is a 1/4 inch. maybe he can chime in.

        Hot wheels, I think you may have to grind the corner of the beam where it comes close to the shock. I had to do that because the beam was hitting the shocks and dented them. It happens when your hitting bumps under body roll conditions.

        It may not be a problem on the aspire beam, but it hit's on a festiva beam, that's why the factory shock has skinny extension on it.

        Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.
