Default Rear Disks

The housing is an International Scout II Dana 44 (ARB, 4.56). It's sporting a WARN full float kit, Suzuki Sidekick (JI) long wheel base front disk rotors and calipers, Wilwood spot caliper acting as a e-brake, "home made" caliper and e-brake brackets,

Lots of fuss to end up with 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern, eh? LOL I'm so sad...

If I can get this more or less done in the next week or so there is finally nothing standing between me and getting the lift on the XJ. Woohoo.

Here's some images of how I started the mock up using cardboard cutouts.

The small black caliper is the Wilwood spot caliper that is being used for an emergency / parking brake. It is a full floating caliper and very light. I bought it because it is small and relatively cheap (~$55).

For the e-brake cable I am using the cable off a ZJ. Below is an idea of the rough orientation of the cable. I made the proper caliper mount that funny shape to have a place to mount the cable and to also give a larger surface to bolt/weld the caliper mount itself to the axle flange. Initially I was only going to bolt the caliper mount but it is not going to work without welding. When I post more images I'll explain why.

Don't worry about how close the bolt holes are to the edge of the brackets. The brackets get welded on and the holes are for the bolts that retain the full float spindles.

Will do - wasn't sure about that and ran out of time to "play". HAve a house full of visitors here so access is limited.

Can you go into the admin tool for the site and allow more than 4 images per post? Between smilies and embedded images that isn't enough... at least not for my posts.
