Isn't it awesome. I bet they have fun with you on CC. The English Nazi's can be brutal.
nice, looking forward to the pics
Pics as promised. I just completed a set of mock up brackets for SN95 2 piston PBRs onto a Granada spindle. The will bolt up just like the Granada bracket using 2 bolts only, no adapters. I will send these off for modeling and prototyping. I'll need a couple of volunteers to try them out on their Granada front brakes.
awesome, how much difference is there between a granada spindle and 69 disc spindle? if those will work on a 69 disc spindle i'll try a set of them on the GT.
Two differences. The tie rod mount hole is larger on Granada, and the upper caliper bracket mount hole is 9/16" on 68-73 spindle vs 1/2" on Granada.
i was just referring to the caliper mounts actually, i knew about the tie rods and bearings and just generally beefier nature, but i knew the mounting holes for the caliper bracket were different sizes but i wasn't sure if they were in exactly in the same place or not. so with a little drilling to your new PBR caliper mounts they should work on the 69 disc spindle, correct?
As you know, the pin is smaller on 68-69, but 68-73 disc spindles (knuckles) are otherwise IDENTICAL except as noted. The SN95 bracket's upper mount hole could be altered. I could PERHAPS persued my machining producer to make a few for 68-73 spindle type.
hmmm, well the i'd be in for a set of those when they're ready. and then later on down the road get a set of dropped spindles for the cougar. are you going to make a PBR bracket for those as well?
I intend to do so.
ok, so just to clarify, the spindle that we're talking about being released shortly will be:
-1.5" drop from stock
-Using '70-73 pin size
-Set up for drum brakes to work with many existing disc brake upgrade kits, i.e. Baer
correct? I've gotten slightly confused over the last couple of pages talking about options to come out later and add-ons that I just want to be clear on the basics. Can't wait!
