What are these finned brakes off?

[SRVLIVES]

On the rear of my FC, I'm sure these are the same as were on the back of a modified EH I had about ten years ago.

Hi SRVLIVES,
It's a  FE-FC Brake drum and diff housing ;)
From memory when i looked at it a couple of years ago it had a later model diff centre.

None handy, and the car's not here.

I think those U bolts may need a trim though....  ;)

[TorqueFC]

well then id say that ACE is correct seings he has seen the car

Which leads me to my next problem, my HK/T/G wheels mounting face is obviously different to the drums which is why my rear wheel studs only protrude just over halfway into the nuts!

I feel like just throwing a set of 13's back on it.... :(

Don't cut the U-bolts!!!! Add lowering blocks  ;D

Are you running drop spindles on the front end? If so you make strike more trouble. I bolted everything up today and the bloody wheel wouldn't spin, backed off the nuts and found the rim was scraping in a couple of places on the lower ball joint. Goes to show how round the wheel is eh? It only scrapes in a couple of spots and not the entire circumference. Might do a bit of angle grinder work tomorrow  :o

How are you going to dress up you wheels? I tried one of those dariol moulds (67mm) I mentioned in another post and they worked a treat. A good set of chrome nuts and they will look the business.

[SRVLIVES]

No drop spindles, just lowered springs.

I may have another alternative for wheels, just seeing what the freight cost would be.

I am off to buy a bottle of peroxide tomorrow.
Forgot that I hadn't tightned the ball-joints, intending for the place doing the align to go over the whole front-end and check/tighten everything.
Once that was nipped up, no hassles!

Those wheel studs look a little short, but is the rim mounting properly on the hub? If the wheel is mounting correctly, I'd be looking for some longer wheel studs.

[SRVLIVES]

The wheel is hard up against the drum, but it's mounting face is completely different.

Mmmm, what to do.....
