The trailing arms are back on the car after Chris Foley worked his magic "de-ovalling" the inboard pivot tube ID's. (Distortion probably due to factory welds, and probably another reason to *not* box the trailing arms).
The second part of my project was to apply the 911 e-brake mod. This mod requires some sort of "backstop" for the brake shoes to bottom against when applied. On a 911, this backstop is part of the trailing arm itself. Some of you guys have welded a backstop onto the e-brake backing plate, but I don't think that is strong enough for the forces possible. I was going to weld a backstop onto the trailing arm itself, but with my pivot tube experience am now concerned that welding something about even with the caliper bosses might distort the wheel bearing housing making it difficult to remove / replace the bearing. Any comments or guidance on this??? |
