He was just driving and reckons they cant handle any torque more than a stock engine.
Wow, does anyone know what discs Shermann uses? I had them on my old one, used to drop the clutch full revs all the time with my old 1916 base like a stupid teenager, only thing I ever broke was the ring and pinion..! After 40000k's Hoping these discs will be ok.
It will all be OK in the end, if it's not OK it's not the end!

If they were the same kit of his that I've got its Porsche 914 rotors and discs and Fiat Spider Calipers.

He uses some other calipers now, not sure what though.

Hey hey,

Rear disc brakes...

I am not an engineer, and I'm a very limited back yard mechanic.

I have researched rear disc brakes.
Is your car swing axle and lowered?

Yes....
I understand that due to negative camber, after market rear disc brakes are a pain in arse to set up so that they work.

Try and find a set of Type 3 drums, if your car is a lowered swinger.

I'm sure there are members of our forum who can explain why rear discs on a lowerd swinger are difficult to set up.
