US rear 280 kit snag... 'elp!

[Hisnibs 10]

Sorry for the lack of pictures... I'll do my best to explain -

 

Essentially, the dome allen bolts are rubbing against the new discs... and the problem is exacerbated around corners what with the poxy taper bearings et all.

 

On the rear of the old discs the centre of the bearing housing is level with the swept area of the disc but on this new set up the swept area of the disc is proud by some way... consequently forcing the disc to sit further towards the hub and therefore into the domed allen bolt.

 

Please tell me I'm doing something daft!

Here's an old pic of mine

 

Mine went straight on !

No such luck this end! wondered if I'd pressed the bearing receiver ring in too far so dremeled the b a s t a r d out and stuck the old receivers in shy of the stop and nope, still grinding away. Totally undrivable. Swapped the bearings - nope, same s h i t.

 

Really don't want to put the old ones back on. Quite a wedge hey.

 

Only thing I can think to do is get a chamfered metal washer fabricated up to sit the bearing off the axle a little more.

 

Thanks for the response though bud.

Do you run a rear ARB, Mr DG?

[dragon green 4]

Yes,a weiterch

[Hisnibs 10]

Bugger, that means I'm gonna have to follow suit to see if it solves it :pale:

 

Good mod though yeh?

[dragon green 4]

Very good mod,you notice the difference

For anyone experiencing this gimp - 1 1/4'' copper washers packed behind the larger bearing receiver saves the day.

 

Next stop: paint shop.
