Title: What are these finned brakes off? Post by: SRVLIVES on August 21, 2005, 08:06:09 AM 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.

Title: Re: What are these finned brakes off? Post by: ACE on August 21, 2005, 08:45:03 AM 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. Regards ACE 8) Title: Re: What are these finned brakes off? Post by: SRVLIVES on August 21, 2005, 08:45:48 AM None handy, and the car's not here.
I think those U bolts may need a trim though.... ;) Title: Re: What are these finned brakes off? Post by: TorqueFC on August 21, 2005, 08:50:02 AM well then id say that ACE is correct seings he has seen the car
Title: Re: What are these finned brakes off? Post by: SRVLIVES on August 21, 2005, 08:54:31 AM 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.... :( Title: Re: What are these finned brakes off? Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on August 21, 2005, 10:09:12 AM 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. Title: Re: What are these finned brakes off? Post by: SRVLIVES on August 21, 2005, 10:47:11 AM No drop spindles, just lowered springs.
I may have another alternative for wheels, just seeing what the freight cost would be. Title: Re: What are these finned brakes off? Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on August 21, 2005, 11:18:17 PM 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. Title: Re: What are these finned brakes off? Post by: SRVLIVES on August 22, 2005, 02:51:46 AM The wheel is hard up against the drum, but it's mounting face is completely different.
Mmmm, what to do..... |
