Subject:      Machine 80-85 Steering Spindle for Later Style Caliper?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi all.


This image: http://tinyurl.com/kbj2jhm
shows early Vanagon spindles machined for a Jaguar caliper. This samba
post: http://tinyurl.com/k6jgqz5 shows the jig he supplied to the machinist
to aid in modifying the spindle and side by side measurements of early and
late Vanagon spindles and hubs.


Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding all this but with all that in mind,
can the early steering spindle be machined in a similar manner to
accept the later style Vanagon caliper?


In Bentley, it looks like the early-late calipers have the same bolt
spacing but I imagine rotor thickness may be one issue.


Neil.
