Default Re: gen 1 big brakes

As additional info, here is what you'll see if you line up the Gen2 mounting bracket on the Gen1 knuckle and wheel bearing assembly. This is before grinding down the rounded portion on the knuckle assembly. You can see that the bracket needs to move about 1/4" to the right in the picture to mount up with the Gen1 assembly.

The subsequent problem is that the bolts to mount the wheel bearing hub won't line up. However, those tabs can be cut off the kit. They really aren't needed. Since Dave sent me one of his earlier protos without those tabs, I didn't have to cut. I can't confirm the strength of the metal with regards to cutting.
