My apologies, for some reason it looked like rattlecanned steel (I must be blind.) Also, where I come from, mockups and prototypes are very different... a prototype is something that is built to test functionality before incorporating any fixes for deficiencies noted in the prototype during testing, this is repeated until everything works, then any design changes necessary for manufacturing are applied and the results are tested yet again. Every assembly that's testable in real world conditions is considered a prototype until the result is something that is manufacturable, repairable, and fully functional. I think you may be confusing the term prototype with the term mockup.I'd be more concerned about the plastic lmao. Gotta love PROTOTYPES. The adapter will be made out of 1/2" steel and the spacers will be machined out of steel.
Everybody loves to break balls...
WTF is the problem with putting big brakes on a Dana 30? 12" is ok, 14" is stupid and too heavy? WTF?
I contend that this, and every other project that's safe for the road & gets the owner's rocks off, is awesome. Not everything is going to turn out perfect, folks. This brake swap, though, is pretty much an unmitigated "win"
I didn't notice what yan did, but I'm quite concerned about the washer stacking on the bolts for the adapter plate. You'll have no problems with them sliding against each other (they all have the same pressure face to face) but the extra leverage doesn't give me any warm fuzzy feelings, don't be surprised if the bolts bend and the caliper cants sideways when braking.
Probably just forgot. I forget about this place from time to time.
There isn't any room. Otherwise I would. Lol. Plus my springs are reverse arch spring over which means I can't really go off of the leaf spring plate either.
