Clay Perrine's solution
Being discussed on the Bird board now. He's prepared to make up 50 sets of the brackets if he can find buyers. The caliper is an off-the-shelf Wilwood part. |

QUOTE How did you accomplish this with just a little grinding? The bearing housing only needs about 2mm ground off its outer perimeter for the 911 "hat" to fit. The bearing retainer plate is then left off and the 911 assembly bolts right on. The shield mount needs to be ground off as well. QUOTE At a minimum, the 911 P-brake requires a *stay* to keep the shoes from rotating. I'm not sure the "stay" keeps the shoes from rotating (I'm sure it helps with that issue) but it does offer a point for leverage when pulling the cable. Imagine a 12:00 O'clock and a 6:00 O'clock position. The cable is a 6:00 and the stay is at 12:00. Now imagine a clam shell opening and closing. The stay being the hindge or a pivot point for the shoes to expand outward. And yes... it needs to be welded to the 911 assembly. Check my link above and the picture of Timo's assembly. That was a 5 minute job using some metal stock trimmed down to 40mm. |
