Umstellung: Scheibenbremse P7 Hinterachse

  • Hi!


    After some research this issue, I would like to clarify the past:
    Preamble:


    some photos from network:

    Ford Atlas kit:

    etc...


    Now the disc and brake caliper from the scrap, for trying to fit only. In real I buy new spares. (Ford Scorpio real disks and calipers)
    What I can do:
    10mm conversion plate made from C15 steel:

    Try:

    Please tell an opinion as to whether this work. I'm not a constructor by specialty, but I can understand the question. :)
    weld quality and to align detail I can. flange should not bend. welding equipment is any.
    Thanks!

  • Hi!
    thanks for answer.
    I think to make flange, but:
    bolt holes are very near to axle tube, and no space for fastening.
    also, 3mm are thinner for fixate plate on back of axle flange.
    I thinking about differ variants, inside & outside fasten...
    Your pics are for bolting to flange face. my pics for welding on the back of flange.
    what are you thinking about welding to flange?

  • Welding on the flange should be a little bit difficult,you have no specifications about the material!
    Welding at the tube(as shown)is no prob,sometimes done at Escort-Rally-Axles for suspensionstuff.(But i think a lot to wide distance for a brakecaliper)
    Better it should be if you built a screwed from the outside version,then built a step on it to get the real distance from caliper to disk!
    Best wishes!

    Yes, right, I don't know type of flange steel, but I can try select same type. No problem with welding (I have all type of welding device, include allum. in argon welding unit),
    but I think about flange strength after welding...
    To make whole conversion plate now is not possibly:
    fraser machine available to me was broken, and there are difficulties in finding a suitable steel block, 50mm thinnest.
    I can cut out detail on the plasma, liquid, or a laser cutter, but then can not do space for bearing.
    precisely because of these reasons, I started looking for welding alternatives.
    I have time to solve the problem, until May or June, when the snow melt.
    3-4 months remained to the warm, during which time I want to finish the rear axle. :)

  • Hallo!
    What you think about this variant? (sketch, just for trying fit only!)
