I am in the process of 'building' my
brake system. Currently I am using the original
front disk brakes but I have
purchased a Wilwood pro-street rear brake kit. I've installed
a Wilwood master cylinder &
proportioning valve along with a Hurst line-lock and
braided stainless steel line kit.
I have installed the new rear brakes with my own designed and
fabricated mounting brackets. The
brackets that came with the kit were not designed
to work with c-clip eliminators.
The cutout in the top of the bracket design to allow installation
without removing the axles.
Installation of the c-clip eliminators require that the end of the
axle
housing be cut off (the section
that extends beyond the flange, and contains the original axle
bearing).
The c-clip eliminator assembly must then
be sealed to the axle housing flange
to prevent leakage
of rear end oil. The Wilwood brake
mounting flange gets sandwiched between
the c-clip
eliminator and the housing flange and
thus must be sealed as well.
Pictured is my new CNC mill cutting my
brake brackets.
