So after a second of testing out the cuttoff levers I realized I didnt have my torque arm on
Saw and felt the axle rotate.
Brought it back, took a look, dropout separated a bit. But I caught it in time.
So had to cut off the slot in the old steel plate and make me a snugger fit t.a.
New ones ALL fit very snug, almost have to hammer tap it in. Way better then the previous ONE I had on b4 which had lots of slop to it because I was just to lazy on the angle grinder. This time I took my time, measured 100 times all the way through the process while shaving metal off, measuring, shaving metal off again and repeat. Can't be doing to much more grinding as rust spots appear on the driveway... so clean up the best I can, hose it down and mop it up.
The first one is real snug and has an even slot, the second ones slot is a bit waving but very little slop.
So all done on an angle grinder, I did use the rotary with cut off wheel at the last 9.50mm but I doubt it really took anything off to make 10mm. I believe the good one I got to 9.85mm did a quick one timer on the angle grinder and it did its job.
1/4 steel x 1.5" by say 3.5"
I need to buy some more hose clamps, all my remaining ones have a large area where no slots are to shorten the diameter, I guess they were probably big large hose clamps that I just cut down. You can see in the first pic, slots come right up to the bolt, I believe that was a fresh new small hose clamp.
The problem I see with the brake side is the torque arm will probably get in the way of the caliper.
My latest masterpieces
Professional yes
