[6pack] Tr6 Rear Disc Brake Project, Any Interest?

[Robert N. Clark]

Don,

After reviewing the pictures posted on Bob Danielson's web site, a
couple of questions come to mind:

Does the thickness of the mounting bracket and the portion of the rotor
attached over the stock hub affect the suspension geometry and/or the
action of the sliding half shafts?

Any problems with tire clearance?

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)
