Re: IML: Disc Brake conversion



Chris,
I'm not familiar with the 58s but when I converted my 300H using the AAJ kit, there was a left and a right mounting plate. There were weld nuts on the plate, and I think that's why they were marked left and right. There were also different length bolts for the different holes. The kit literature was very specific as to which bolts went into which holes. Is it possible that you have the mounting plates on the wrong side or that the wrong bolts are in the wrong holes?  I think if the wrong bolts are in the wrong holes, they will come in contact with the rotor.

Regards,
Mark

Subject: IML: Disc Brake conversion

I have just finished a disc brake conversion on my 58 with an AAJ kit however when I put my wheels on they wont spin.  The inside of the rim is hitting the calipers somewhere i think but I can't see where.  I have ground all the casting marks off the calipers smooth but I still have the problem.  Has any one struck this before if you have on of these kits fitted.

Chris
 
PS: I will call AAJ for a solution tomorrow but I thought I would try the IML to see if anyone has had the same problem.
