Kick rear discs....anyone...Beuhler?

[idaholwb]

Has anyone done an inexpeinsive rear disc for the kick rear end? I want to use the sammy discs, rotors and mounts on the kick rear end that I have in my lwb.

a place called trail tough......................

[rabidray]

search you !@#$ !@#$%^& newb

[idaholwb]

I did search, dumbass! Ya think that I'm another ig'orant NEWBIE?? No, I have been here for a while, and have learned other people's mistakes before I made them myself!
When I did the search, all I found was buy, and bolt on stuff, like Spidertrax. What I AM looking for is a backyard engineered shortcut similar to how sammys got popular in the first place....by people dinking with them in their backyards and figuring out what did and didn't work. What did work, people figured out how to make a buck off of and made, or did these things for and to other zuks.
A buddy found on here, how to "backyard" a set of sammy rear discs. I want to find out how to do the same with kick rear discs. The rotor backing plate obviously will be the same, but the caliper mounting I'm not sure about.
Before you start jumping somebody's sh*# about being a newbie, think about 2 things. Where you started, and who might have the next valuble piece of information that you might need!

Sami rotors and 300zx calipers ( with parking brake )..... it could not be easier

[rabidray]

thin skinned i wont be mean any more i would not want too make you run away crying.......

so to correct my terrible mistake i will tell where to find what you want and dry your tears.......

check out the roadless gear tec articles weld on rear disc brakes i have it coppied some where on this box .......but there is also about 165 gigs of other stuff on hear too so some times it kinda tuff to find stuff...............

What about mounting plate for caliper?

[idaholwb]

Essentially that is all I want to know is how to mount the sammy caliper, I already have an sj410 parking brake.
How hard is it just to answer a question without showing how much of an idiot you just might be?
It has nothing to do with me being butt-hurt and wanting my tears dried, dumbass, it has to do with me doing a search for "sidekick rear discs" and coming up with jack sh#*!
Why is it that you think that just because someone is new on here that they know not a damn thing like you? For all you know they have been a Suzuki tech for the last ten years, but hasn't played with a sammy enough to know these things off the top of their head?
I'm not saying that I'm a tech, because I'm not. What I'm saying is don't presume that all newbies are stupid. Because as we all know, a lot of the people that have been here for a while are worse than the newbies. And yes, there are a lot of newbies that don't know their a** from a whole in the ground, you need to figure that part out before you ride someone about it.
Just because you been here a little while, doesn't mean you know all, and as proof, you wouldn't have replied to me with nothing but junk if you did know something!

that you were stupid ok......just having a wee bit o fun.......

being that the kick axel tube has a larger od so it will more than likly reqiure a custom made part.......ive never tried it so i do not know............................

[polkabully]

Trail Tough brackets:

[idaholwb]

Only problem with those two theories, is, I don't want to get a bolt on kit nor do I want to use something other than sammy pieces on the end. I just want to figure out how to weld on what I have. Is it really that big of a deal to do?

[rabidray]

they cut a section out of the caliper bracket and then align it with the backing plate bolt holes on the axel housing......

there is were the problem lies .....the sammy has a completly different bolt pattern and a smaller axel tube.......

that is not too say you couldnt cut the circle off of the bracket and make it larger........you very well could......

but the trail tuff kit is 99 bucks and it addreses the problem of ....

well i fabbed both brackets and welded them on now what i do to fabb up something too hold the rotor on the end of the axel......

brent makes a kit specificly for kicks too same price 99 bucks and it bolts on.......the r and d has already been done and it is cheap.......

ok ill hop off the soap box now.......

[idaholwb]

Thanks for replying without the "newbie jump". I guess I'm just going to have to go out in the shop and just fart around with it myself. I was just hoping to find someone that has already done it themselves. Anyway.....

[Orionn]

OK...My turn!!!!


NEWBIE!!!

just poking fun, dont get all PO'd now.......

Hey, your missing the point here though, Brent at Trail Tough has already done the work of R&D on this. His work is top notch to.
I figure it this way, for $99 plus shipping, its a no brainer.

Unless your out of work and have nothing better to do, Or really cant bear to NOT do it yourself......I figure that your time has got to be worth MORE than the $99 for those parts. (not to mention that if you dont get the clearences just right on this, your screwed, and the brakes will no-worky )

Your choice though but I'd pony up the $99

[idaholwb]

Sorry, fun accepted. I'm one of these people that have been involved in c.b.s forever and I know what H&D (hate and discontent) is. Usually the "newbie" never even gets a word in edgewise unless he proves himself, just figured it was along the same lines....was I wrong?
I'm one of these people that would much rather do it themselves. That is a main reason why I posted this quandry.

Not Po'd at all!
