Few pics of a project I'm working on to break up the misery or paint, bondo and rust removal on my V-8 SBC conversion. I'm going to do the sheridan body work on my car and found these wheels which I liked.
  The problem is the wheels are 10 inches wide with an offset of 2 inches. In searching the web site it seems that most people with this combo have gone with 3" spacers. This seemed like it would put a lot of force on the bearing and I still would not have many other rear brake options. So.... I found some rear 928 hubs on ebay. the bearings are much larger: 85mm diameter and 47mm wide (versus stock 75mm diameter x 37mm long) and this would provide me with other 5 lug rear brake options. So off to the barn. First, put a piece of 5 inch 1.25 inch wall DOM(Drawn Over Mandrel steel tubing) in the lathe.  |

Clay,
I've read that opinion before, but unfortunately only after I had already completed the work. Do you know why it doesn't release? Is it a symptom of the Wilwood design? Many cars use calipers and pads for parking brake applications, so I'm wondering what's the deal? Guess I'll find out for myself as soon as I get the wheels on the ground. I have all the 911 stuff just in case this doesn't work out. Andys |

Andys It is the Wilwood caliper design. for some reason it won't release after the brake cools if it is set when the rotor is hot. Wilwood discontinued the spot caliper for that reason (that's what I was told when I phoned them about it). But this is cool.. Hydraulic Caliper with Mechanical Park Brake Maybe as a replacement for a stock 914 rear? |
