cut down disc hubs inside drums?
baz-R - 10/3/15 at 08:33 PM

has anyone managed to take some sierra disc hubs and flanges and fit them inside a drum brake setup? the caliper mount lugs would need choping off and the backplate center hole will need opening out 1-2mm

it looks like i will need to shim out the drum 1mm to change the offset diffrence but i will need to fit it all up first?

the idea is to have lobro shafts with drums

i want smaller wheels ,a better handbrake, less rear brake effort and less unsprung mass without having the hassle of hybrid or welded shafts

Not done that

I have 13" wheels over wilwood handbrake calipers.

Lobro shafts with the bearing carrier ears chopped off and turned down a bit.

With AdiT's hand brake multiplier setup you can have it all but with discs!

Well is all done and sorted now.
I have drums with bolt on drive shafts and cut down bearing carriers from a disc brake setup.
There's a difference in offset but I got it sorted
