The pad overhang was not as bad as I had originally thought.....taking the pads to the bench grinder (recommended by a high performance brake pad engineer), I just need to add a chamfer to the edge of the pad to get rid of the overhang......pretty darn easy once I gave it a shot....
the adapter itself will be pretty easy to make and shouldn't cost me much at all for supplies.... I know have to decide what color to paint the calipers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Attached image(s)

Hey Mike,
Spare is something you should take seriously. I put Mustang Cobra (13" rotors) on my Mustang GT. I had bought the 17' rim option on new purchase, but the spare was stock for the GT and V6 and won't clear the 13" rotor/caliper combination. When I blew out a sidewall on a front tire, I had to do this ridiculous balancing act of lifting the front, remove flat, shove the wheel under the car to block it up, then go jack up the rear to move the rear forward, then put spare on rear.. Ford makes a 17" spare for the Cobra, but they are hard to get because all the Cobra drag racers buy them up to use as lightweight (aluminum) front skinnies... Maybe a redrilled Porsche 16" spare? |
