Title: Disko Inferno
Post by: will on December 12, 2004, 08:52:03 am

Well folks... nothing like a weekend alone in the shop.

Finally got the front & rear disk mounts just right. And they survived a pretty good test session at the local state park. Wahoo!
Still haven't figured out how to post photos, but they are in the gallery page under "Will"

Check it out.

Thanks Angus!

Folks, let me know what you think. Do y'all think I could get away with trimming that front flange away from the axle? BTW, I thrashed it Saturday with no problems. Yeehaw!

Nice one Will - IS is so much better to mod in many respects. Is that JB Weld used to bond the alloy.

Here is a link to mine, (8" rotor, postmount caliper):

Dan,
I used Brand-X epoxy on the front... not so great. The JB Weld on the back was incredible stuff. Much higher quality and more consistent texture.
If you look at the close up of the rear mount you can see a huge improvement in the casting.
