Drum to Disc, again.

I priced the rear ss axle and being a cheep SOB I came up with this.
A tab of 3/8" steel that you weld on to your drum axle. Then using OEM ss parts you drill your caliper mounting holes and add some hose clamps. Your all done! So far total cost $400.00
Soon as the snow melts I'll put it under the car with some more pics

I'm tweaking the cut out program on the water jet. They will be available soon to those who want a set.

still working on it.

well 6 sets went out and as you would know it one person had a problem. You need the tabs welded on by a professional welder. Not by a 110v stick welder.
As soon as the attorneys get done I'll have them for sale.

Should have said,

I guess I should have said, New rotors, New backing plate, New hubs, Rebuilt calipers, New parking brake cables, new hoses.
In the N/W SS parts are hard to come by. So if you have a source of SS parts your sitting on a gold mine.
