Title: Fitting Type1 wide 5 Drums onto an IRS setup Post by: 71CALRIPPER on February 25, 2009, 16:50:53 pm Ok i cant use the Type3 drums so what do i need to do to a stock wide 5 drum?
Machine 7 do a conversion , but to me it just looks like a small amount of machine work ? http://www.machine7.com/product.php?xProd=1623&xSec=2283 If anybody knows the measurements i will buy a stock setup and just get the machine work done. Thank you Rob Title: Re: Fitting Type1 wide 5 Drums onto an IRS setup Post by: 71CALRIPPER on February 25, 2009, 17:05:38 pm And if anybody just thinks i should buy the ones offered just tell me :) Title: Re: Fitting Type1 wide 5 Drums onto an IRS setup Post by: stealth67vw on February 25, 2009, 17:09:04 pm I'm pretty sure for the rear you can just use a standard T1 5 lug drum and early shoes and use a spacer between the drum and axle nut. For the front, it is almost the same except no spacer.

Thank you Rob hey Rob, the drums in the machine 7 link are the same size as standard 4-stud drums,i.e. wider than stock wide 5 brake shoes by about 10mm. they only need machining down if your axles are shorter,speak to Michael Leche if you need advice,he's very helpful. all the best, gary. |
