Swedishcadillac Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Scratch that. I'm getting my drums machined, 510 wheel cylinders and shoes relined. It's only 60 hp, with front discs, I think it'll stop fine. 1 Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Those look like the right ones. :) Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I dropped off the 411 brackets, 710 brackets, 1/8" wheel spacers and truck brackets at TFC Plating this morning. They said it might take about a week. Tons of house work and cleaning for a yard sale this weekend......then I'll get to making the 620 inner bearing adapters. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I heard from the plater today......should be done this week. I've been talking with Jim at Vintage Speedwerks about the hub/rotor machining situation. What we've come up with is an idea for a sleeve over two of the studs. The rotor can get opened up large enough to clear the stock(unmodified hub) and the sleeves will then hold the rotor centered. Once the wheel and lug nuts are tightened properly, there should not be any rotational movement of the rotor on the hub. Rust may be an issue.......might have to look into making them out of stainless. Anyway........ I still need to finalize the prototypes and rotor hole dimension before the final decision is made. What this means is that the 411 kit will become available with the sleeves and rotors already opened up. This will eliminate the need to have the hub machined. Good news for the few 411 cars out there. :) Quote Link to comment
vdubjim Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 got it today, thanks! ill just paint or coat it in the oven to help with the rust. gonna hit up the rockauto for the cheap bitz. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Have you gotten the last several emails I sent? Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment
vdubjim Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 yes i replied. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I haven't gotten any from you since the 5th. You'll probably want to wire brush/wheel off the hubs and studs for the stud sleeves to fit easily. Quote Link to comment
Swedishcadillac Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I recently purchased one of your 411 disc brake bracket sets. Still haven't got around to machining my rotors or hubs. Is this new solution something I can use? I'm having a hard time picturing exactly what goes on with the sleeves. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 yes it is. I'll have a vid out in the next few days that should help explain it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Swedishcadillac Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I see how they work now. I still need to find a machinist to open my rotor up though? Everything's harder in Hawaii. I just had my engine rebuilt. Guy took 11 months!!! Might pm you to order the sleeves... Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thanks! Now I just have to get my mill up and running so I can make them on there.....the little lathe is pretty slow. 1 Quote Link to comment

If I get a chance, I'll see if I have another rotor I can try it on. 2 Quote Link to comment
Beef Weasel Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Are these still available? 1 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 They are. I have brackets and bearing adapters. I'll have to double check on the hardware, but that's easy enough to get. I'll also have to check on the stud sleeves....but I might still have one set.....if not, I can make some more. 7th item down..... http://www.bluehandsinc.com/ 2 Quote Link to comment
Beef Weasel Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Awesome was just checking as the last post was two years ago. Will definitely order soon. Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 So i'm not sure if you remember our conversation from awhile ago about my friend (copy-ing yours) and making his own brackets,, and about him telling me if you use SSS hubs you don't need a bearing spacer do-hickey .. We were at Tanas the other day and she sold us a few sets of sss hubs ,,, stood them up next to my " yet to still be installed" drum brake hub,, and this is what it looked like. Clean black one is drum I didn't take a picture of it but if you place a straight edge on top of hubs they seem to be exactly the same height.. The boards i had them placed on for that test weren't NASA certified flat though, so your finds might be a little different. And also his and daughters were both SSS cars to start with and haven't had mine apart enough to measure/check if spindle is same,,, he seems to think they aren't different. 3 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Ah....since the point of the bearing spacer was to get clearance to the tierod end.....if I remember right.....those hubs look like they'd do the trick. The bracket will need to be a bit different, but easily changed up. Thanks for the info. I've got about 4 more sets of 411 brackets left......after that, I'm not sure if I'll make any more of if I'll see about doing an upgrade for the SSS cars. Too many things on the list all ready. lol Thanks for the info and pics! I really appreciate it!! 2 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I vote an upgrade for the SSS cars. My rotors might have one turn left in them, if I'm lucky. :) 1 Quote Link to comment

The spindles for the drum and disc 411's are the same if I remember right. It's just the hubs that are different. The hubs are the same length because the spindles are the same length. If you look at the difference, the disc hub face has been moved out the same thickness as the brake drum thickness......so the wheel ends up in the same place. If you can mount the rotor behind the disc hub and have it in the same position as the g20 rotor is on the drum hub, then my brackets would work on either. But....If the rotor can be moved out an 1/8", the bearing spacer will not be needed. If a rotor like the g20 could be found that was 1/8" shorter.....same thing. :) 1 Quote Link to comment
