Alright, I think I'm on the same page as you now.
1- You are not reusing the original brake plate. Ditch that and build new housing end plates to accept a dust seal out of ally.
- Do you want to just trace the housing end on to a piece of paper and I use that for a template?
- Are you going to use replacement seals or find a common,off-the-shelf seal that has the proper I.D. for your axle shaft?
- 3/8'' plate probably won't be thick enough to hold a seal. I can turn up a ring to house the seal and then weld that to the 3/8'' plate. I would need the old brake plate intact so I can center it though,so scratch the idea of tracing and send the brake plate.haha
- We could leave two ears, or maybe just a large tab, coming off this plate that you could use to hang your calipers off of. I can't make those brackets without being able to measure the offset,of course,but it would leave you something to build off of at least.
2- Adapt CB front hub the tapered axle shaft. DRIVEN wheel,no bearings.
- Are you still thinking ally, or steel? I have pieces of ally big enough to do this already.I have a length of stainless about 4' long,but I think it's only about @.25'' O.D. I know the key is obviously strong enough to do the job. How wide is the key and how tall does it protrude out of the key way? I'm wondering if ally is going to be the best choice for the hub adapters.
- Ally will be easy to machine and I can weld it solid to the hub. Steel would be stronger, but we would have to decide how to keep the adapter from spinning inside the hub. It could have a face on it large enough to reach the rotor mounting holes and attach there. The adapter would still be a press fit,just using the rotor bolts to make sure it never spins inside the CB hub. Would require spacers between the face of the hub adapter and the rotor due to the shape of the hub....unless we shaved that side of the hub flush...hmm...I'll draw some pics and come back.
Am I on track or still in left field? I gotta go flip the burgers now...
