Hey, Tuck.....

Here are some BAD photos of my disc brake to '36 Ford spindle conversion. These are the parts I had waterjetted from 1/2" 6061 aluminum plate. I drew them in Autocad and their waterjet followed them perfectly.

Here's the JFZ 2-piston caliper and 12" X 3/8" rotor mounted to the '36 drum with the drum itself machined off.

Hey that's cool stuff. Didn't you tell me at one time they sold the conversion kits for the 36 Wheels?

[Tuck]

SJ they turned out AWESOME! How many sets did you have cut?

That looks really cool from the back side DAMN nice work!

I gotta stop in and visit next time im up north...

hey you should RE TITLE this post and RE POST it so that it gets more press-- i think even thought they are disk other hambers might wana make something like that...

So far this deal is in only in the prototype stage. It still needs some tweaking. I had 2 stars cut and 2 caliper mounts. I'll resubmit it as I get it more refined. I have never been a fan of the '40 - '48 brakes and figured there must be a way to retain the stock '36 appearance and have a higher quality, more effective brake.

The rears will be similar (I'm using an early Ford banjo rearend also) but with 12" dia. X .81" vented rotors and 4-piston calipers.

Brilliant work.

Root....Nope, I can't remember ever seeing a kit. There are stock car hubs, etc. that use the 10.25" Ford pattern but that's not the look I was after. If anybody is producing a similar setup I'd be interested in seeing it.

[Roothawg]

Hmmmm. well, maybe we just discussed the wheels then. You told me that in the circle track world there were tons of guys running the wide 5 pattern. I don't remember much else. I have that particular project on the back burner til we get moved etc. I am interested in seeing the whole setup. I am a disc brake fan myself.

You are a LEADER with CREATIVE ABILITY....

I'm AMAZED.....

So what would ya do if ya ran a 9 inch on the rear? Build the spacer?

[Drewfus]

Extremely cool.

Excellently executed as well.

Root....doing that setup on a 9" would take a little study. To be honest, I've never given it a thought. I assume you're referring to having the '36 drum look on a 9".

[Roothawg]

Yeah, that's what I am talking about. I have a 36 Ford pickup that is waiting in the wings and I wanted to look stock but slammed with stock wheels.Thought this might be a good idea for that.
