keep going Seagull. I am stuck to this post. 
I am having biasing issues with my buggy. It Currently has (early) type 3 wagon drums, twin circuit master cyl and after market front discs (rx2
caliper). The front locks up way too easy. Will this conversion solve the issue?

That seems like a waste to scrap the rotor part.I thought you were getting just the hub part of it.What did they end up costing each.Interesting to
see how thick the material on the hub is after you part off the rotor.

yes I would say the same * but *
1) disk once you use it and its worn , in the bin , or mod it to suit / conversion .
2) the disk is very large 280mm in diam and 10mm thick
3) 10mm thick flange
i have run throught the book to what caliper I can use but the disk needs a hand brake as well , holden has the hand brake unit in the bore of the
disk , to much work and shit gets in .

I thought you were going to use these hubs for your Ford conversion.But this disc isn't worn out -it's brand new.I got a rear disc conversion of
Sherman in Qld years ago and I reckon he had just the hubs made up new with a new rotor bolted to it.Would have to pull one apart to check it out.
10mm thick flange is good-would be the same as the flange on a Falcon rear axle.Stay away from those handbrakes inside the rotor-too difficult to set
up and more things to go wrong.Will do some more on mine this weekend.Had the centres of the Ford aluminium caliper bracket machined out and have a
rear arm clamped in the vice ready for some measuring and fiting.

yes thats correct
the disk is new but I would have to purchase a caliper c/w had brake and fab a braket to hold it all.
Then when I wear the disk out calll richard for a new disk , this is if there still around .
I know if I machine the hub now I dont have to do more work down the track .
If it was a race car and did not need the hand brake no probs
You can buy a bolt on hand brake but they are very expencive .
Sherman machines the flages off and fits the disk to them , he has some that have not had the * full * disk formed on so easy to do .
O I checked the thikness 18mm of the hub , will need machining back some
This post is just helping others:party

Yes you can get blank hubs from John Sherman (Volks Conversions) but V Force's price was much better, even including them machining off the disc and
drilling the Ford stud pattern!

I don't know, I'm buying mine as hubs drilled with the Ford stud pattern. Why don't you ask Richard at V Force?
We did list some prices in this post http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=18354#pid188918

Hey nbturbo,
in another post you said you were using 12mm spacers to give wider track on your rear wheels. I thought spacers were illegal, or are they legal if you
attach them to the hub so they stay put when you take the wheel off?

I just parted off one of the calipers form the ( hub section ) these are very thick 18mm , so will make a very good hub .
Now where did the front go on my post ( ? )
I will start a new one at the end emailed to WES for the top of the page .

Yes my spacer is screwed to the hub but also I fitted studs from the front of a late model Ford with a very long shank which also is a press in fit to
the spacer as well as the hub and rotor-if this makes sense

OK I think I get it, the 'press fit' part of the stud is long enough to go through the hub, rotor and spacer. Were they approved?

Just to clarify-this is not on the brake conversion I am doing at the moment-the spacers are on a brake kit I bought from Sherman some years ago for
my Oval which has not seen any bitumen yet-long drawn out job.I made spacers the same diameter as the rotors and painted them so you really have to
look hard to even see them.
