be a bracket that you could order or do some looking at a truck...
A lot of the “monster” truck guys run the 2 1/2 axles ( along with the 5 ton)
and they run disc brakes. I would see about a little research in that area.
my background is aerospace and l am amazed that when there is a problem
most of the time a whole lot of engineering is wasted on...
about 4-5 years ago there was someone who made a full disc brake M-35
and if memory serves me this person used the brakes off of a ford F-700 ?
no and I can’t remember how the hubs were, but it was a slick install.
Pictures would have been a better explanation.
Imagine you have a 6 inch bolt, but the elevated clamping force only comes in to affect the last 2 inches. Grind maybe 3 inches a little bit and your
Not fighting the full running torque of the nut.
No, you would still have at least a 1/2 inch of threads above the nut, you just wouldn’t be fighting the entire length of the threaded stud.
threads would be at least 3 quarters away around the entire length of the stud with a 100% about a half inch above the nut.

All the A3 tires rims that we have done, we lightly sand (grind)the inside of
the wheel studs (rim to rim half studs)next to the hub center about maybe
a quarter of the diameter and with the rim torqued down should have about
a half to three quarters of an inch of full threads above the nut...
We have several diesel vehicles. And some set for a month or two.
If we see that we are going to be traveling or for what ever reason we drain
or siphon as much fuel as we can out because we can use it in another vehicle.
say with a hmmvee or a m-35 pour a gallon of regular unleaded gas in the...
