Had real fun and games with the rear brakes!!!!!
Still not completely sure what caused it
So bought this lot
Gen VW backing plates
Gen VW internal parts
Trasporterhaus Spring plates
Trasporterhaus redrilled drums to porche
Trasporterhaus modified hibs for porsche and narrowed
Trasporterhaus shortened shafts
New shoes
Gen Hub carriers with all new bearings and gen VW spacer tubes
First problem - shaft wouldnt slide into the hub!
even after cleaning off the coating
Had to have it pressed in
Next job, got it all fitted up and bump stops cut down
bolted wheel up tight and wheels stuck solid ad drums sitting too far in and rubbing
So had to have the outer lip of the drum machined down to match the inner lip but still bad so had both inner and outer machined down some more!
Was better - But then found it was now the inner lip of the backing plate it was catching on - Shiny metal you see was painted black!
So then had to have more machining done on the inner area between the to lips!
nightmare - now finally have brakes that down rub
Everyone i spoke to including transporthaus C&C and other peeps in the know just couldn't would out why I had so much trouble..
