Triumph TR6 Rear Disc Brake Conversion / brackets only
I have completed my TR6 rear disc brake conversion. I had a CNC Machine shop
in Columbus, OH cut my caliper brackets out of =" steel. To keep cost down I
ordered extra sets hoping that others might want to follow suit and not go
through the engineering progress on their own. The brackets were designed on a
CAD system, modified through test fittings in aluminum and then CNC out of
steel.
My design incorporates an e-brake, keeps the spring location, and keeps a gas
shock modification with very minor modifications using simple hand tools.
The system fit very nice under the swing arm, clearing all obstacles for
mounting and arm movement. Only a small quarter size round out is needed for
service access to one mounting bolt head. (See pictures attached slide 1) The
e-brake cable can be sources from LOKAR. (U cut to fit)
Once you have the brackets, you will need to source the disc brake calipers,
rotors, misc brake lines and hardware like (12) 2" studs.( to replace stuck
studs, too short with the bracket)
I don't want to go into the parts business.
The brackets are designed for 1987 Nissan Maxima rear disc brake calipers
w/hardware w/e-brake, and the rotors are 1984-94 Nissan 240sx.
There are other Nissan models that used the same type of caliper like the
200sx, Stanza, 240sx, Maxima, and some 280zx, but be careful as Nissan changed
systems all through the model lines. The e-brake cable can be sources from
LOKAR. (U cut to fit)
If you have modified to a coil over system or don't care about the e-brake,
the brackets will rotate and flip around for a top mount towards the rear of
the swing arm.
(See attached picture slide 2, black is steel version)
The bracket set (2 brackets) are priced to cover cost only, priced at $160.00,
plus shipping costs
(I painted fat black to slow down rust)(I'll include how to Power Point with
links to suggested resources) (Also disclaimer)
