Re: True C5 Rear Disc w/ internal parking brake in the works
Finally went from paper space in autocad to some 1/4 acrylic plastic... fine tuned the outline/shape of the bracket and voila:
and the back side showing the acrylic bracket - for race applications lol...
There will only be 3 bolts holding the backing plate to the adapter bracket. One on the top (thats the one you can see the hole is drilled through), and 2 at the bottom that go through the e-brake actuator.
I am lacking the rotors, so I do now know how far to space it just yet. The backing plate will be close to 5/8 away from the flange. The 4 axle flange holes in the backing plate adapter will be tapped just like the Ed Miller design. I am going to start on the caliper bracket now.. I am going to look at some C-5 pictures to see about at what angle the caliper is in...... and then compare it to the front of our trucks.. make it about the same angle.
