Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

anybody installed or used this kit?

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

Which one? Had a member "try" to install the rear conversion kit and sent it back.

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

Well i was really talking bout the front, but rear input would be great also

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

I have a couple sets in the shop "waiting to be installed". They look great, and for the price, it seems to be a killer deal. There have been zero complaints on the front kit, but I have heard of one board member who had some problems with the rear kit fitment. I will hopefully have some more feedback on the rear shortly.

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

I bought the rear, and it did not fit. Rotor hub hole too small, even after machining, rotor would not fit over axle flange. Too bad, looked great.

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

What was the response from McGaughy's? I am assuming you weren't the only one????

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

i installed the front kit fits great have the rear but havent installed yet

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

Can you please post pics when you finish install

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

i called them and they said you have to turn the axle flange down in order for it to fit. Did you try this?

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

i just talked to the guy who i bought them from said no problem he would machine them down he said it was no big deal

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

yes i will post the pics did u want to see the front brakes now i have pics

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

YES I would like to see as much as I can before I jump into those.

I would like to see PICs with and without the wheel if possible.

Thanks

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

I have the McGaughy's 13" Front and Rear kit and it's already installed.

On the rear kit read the instructions, I didn't. (Machine work required)

My only complaint is they don't offer anything other than rubber lines.

(But I got Stainless Steel Braided ones from Inline Tube for an extra cost)

As for size, quality, & looks - Killer kit just my $.02 (Pic's on my website)

Top linky in siggy :D

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

Does anyone know if the front kit changes the track width?

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

McGaughy's kit does not narrow the trac-width.

.

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

McGaughys just said, "yes, you have to either machine inside of rotor or perimeter of axle hub"...that specific info was not divulged until I ran into the problem.

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

way too much material needed to be removed, like 7/16...had to pass.

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

But does it widen it when you switch from drums is "I think" what he was asking. That is what I am trying to figure out.

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

I can take a measurement for you if that helps any?

(Just let me know from where to where to take it)

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

That would be cool if you would take a measurement from outside of rotor to outside of rotor on the plate where the wheel will mount to. That way I can measure from outside of drum to outside of drum and post that measurement and we will have at least one good sample of how much this pushes out the trac-width

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

So you want outer rotor edge to edge + hub offset, right?

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
 

Yes, that would be perfect and good FAQ info for the future IMHO.
