deanteam Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 Glad to say that I have finished fitting disc brakes on to a Ford live axle. Why you may ask? Previous drum brakes had no feel and because of the self adjusting mechanism caused glazed shoes. First experience yesterday was good. If anyone wants any information I have pictures and details.

kirium Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 I would be very interested. I have a short cockpit Live Axle and the braking on mine is not the best to say the least. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanteam Posted March 21, 2001 Author Share Posted March 21, 2001 Just wanted to excuse myself for not replying to your interest. I want to get some better pictures of the upgrade, but can’t due these until the weekend. As soon as I get the documentation ready (weekend) I will send you the information.

deanteam Posted March 25, 2001 Author Share Posted March 25, 2001 Just wanted to say that I have finished the report on the brake upgrade. I have sent it to everybody but I’m not sure if you got it, my mailing was not working properly so I've given you the link to the web page where you can read it.
