Disc breaks anyone?

[ApopkaFL]

what did I get started here LOL

Here is a picture of a HEMMT rim

With the 20" rim there is all kinds of room, no problem. How about a new rear seal like a semi to run wet wheel bearings, no more leaks.

Kids in a candy store!!! You know the bad thing is now when you want something done he is going to be covered up

So what kind of money we talking for setups with 10 lug?

It is the same, you will need an adaptors to go from 6 on 8 3/4" to 10 on 11 1/4". Or cut the centers out and install 6 on 8 3/4" BP. How about the A3 wheel?

OK, here we go. This disc brake kit was sold a year ago and installed by customer. 15" 2 1/2 ton rotors, f550 calipers front and rear - all bolt on.

Steve - glad to see you on here!!!!!

i've been trying to tell these cats how awesome my brakes are...!!!!!!! i've detailed it in a couple threads now but i'm not sure that the improvement is appreciated over a forum.

don't know if i ever told you, but w/ the hydro-boost, the pedal feel is about the same as my 2011 F350 - seriously!!!

sooooo happy with your product...

Yea, i have the green fever now, I have 2 new M105A2 and M35A2 and M35A3 to do a build on.

 

[mudguppy]

can't wait to see a disc-braked A3!!!!

been pondering an A3 or another bobbed deuce. regardless, it will be disc'ed.

 

[Cleptomaniac]

From what i understand the A3 wheels dont seal too good on most tires... would be nice to get hubs that just have 10 lug! Or you have buy the hubs/brakes and then buy adapters or modded rims. Starts adding up real fast!!!

Subscribing so I can find this again.

Sure thing, there is machine work needed to make the new seal surface, that can be do when in the lathe for boring the spindles.

 

[AceHigh]

That is strange. My lathe does not hold a rockwell axle. Nice shop!

 

[blackrock]

steve is a great guy who has innovated the industry of rockwell axles. Glad to see you on here steve.

Hey Steve, welcome ! A lot of us are fans of your work. Some of us do-it-yourselfers have started a thread imitating it.
I know you run a business and may have some trade secrets and whatnot, but if you would like to put a few cents in the
thread is http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/72967-disc-brake-engineering-thread.html

Seems like you have some excellent products and some pretty amazing skills.
Welcome to Steel Soldiers, we hope you enjoy it !

The front rotor is 15 3/8" OD and the rear is 15" OD. The front setup is $1,650.00 and the rear is $950.00 Works great with the original master cyl. and booster. When i get the A3 here at the shop i was going to do a build on it, bobbed with a new m105a2 bed, this disc brakes setup, larger rear axles with locker.

Is that price just for the brake setup? Or the whole axle with the disc brakes on it?

It is $2,600.00 for the front and rear in a box. If i build the axles for you the installation is free. Yes it is alot of money, most guys can buy a complete m35a2 truck for less. The kit with F350 calipers on the front and weld on rear brake stands $2,150.00

Hey steve, since this thread has served as somewhat of an introduction for you, is that truck in your avatar yours, and if it is, is there anywhere we can find some more info on it ?

It is what started this so called green fever, tryed to buy a deuce and hlaf in 1979, could not get one, so i built my own. degined the though tandem in 1980, made the through axle 1981. beat on it in 1982, could not break it, Built the truck from 1983 to 1987. It has gone through different phases over the years. Has DT. lockers in all three axles, all live, thus 6x6x6.

Nice truck

So its a no go on breaks/hubs with 10 lug instead of deuce lugs? That is without a adapter plate?

Thanks
