Elite Rear brakes

[pistolpete]

I have not touch the rears yet but doing interior work, I know some people cut access panels behind the rear seats. I was thinking of doing this can anyone help with position. I know ive seen photos on here but cant find them.

Here's how I did mine:










Also have at a look at the brilliant solution of Trunnion 74 on TLF. His thread in Restorations and Projects is entitled "502M" - take a look on page 15.

Thats a clever solution. No nuts and bolts to remove and water proof being marine.

You are all getting me worried!!! what are you all accessing that I'm not (at least from above) ....?

Thanks Andy

The handbrake linkage - it's a real PITA!

I'm in the process of designing/building a new diff with inboard discs - should be easier to work on

Ah okay, that makes sense Pete. I did give it all a strip down/grease up while my diff was out 18 months ago and found connecting the links to the back of the brakes with the diff nearly in but not quite up in it's final position made it possible, then adjust (small hands) after final positioning. But indeed the prospect of adjusting with rusted up nuts etc....

Interesting and worthwhile project...inboard disks...
