REAR DISC CONVERSION. CALIPERS @ 3 AND 9 OCLOCK

Recommended Posts

Nate, this is typical for any rear disc conversion... are you showing us different rotors..?

Hey Jason, thanks for all of your help bud, you rock!

I don't think so, according to the autoparts store, those are the same as what you are using. The only difference between my setup and yours will be e30 caliper, bottom mount.

Feedback: brakes worked well on the track! The booster might need some love but the system survived a couple extreme sessions in the advanced and instructor sessions. Made a couple slight tweaks to the CAD based on the this set of brackets. Mainly, the inside of the caliper was just touching the rotor, so I moved that out a few thousandths.

Here is the CAD if anyone would like to duplicate my work. Remember, 6061 at MINIMUM, preferably 7075 aluminum. The forum will not let me upload Solidworks extensions, so you will have to get it here:

So I'm going to do this I was lucky enough to source every thing but the carrier brackets and pads in one shot so far. I just bought this car and thought I might as well do it, it has the brake power booster and master cylinder out so might as well do it now rather  then have to brake in to the system again down the road. So the bracket drawing doesn't give the height of this bracket meaning from bottom to  the top where the suspension will be welded and bolted on anybody know what it is or should I just measure up from the to above the mount and just use that was going to make the brackets before making the car immobile to reduce how long it's off the wheels all thought  I don't have wheels that will fit over the disc yet either but any day now I'll pull that trigger. Also anybody know where I can get power booster rebuilt?

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
