Just curious;
what are we working on?
What Carb?
Automatic choke?
Did you ever have a carb fire?
Is it;
Popping during cranking? and
ALSO, popping during warm up? But
Ok after fully warmed up?
Have you tested the compression yet?
How big is your cam?
and does it have solid lifters?
You got the...
sounds like someone i know…
A rec from other folks in the classic car world that know what is good from experience is the way to go. The unfortunate reality is that most shops will charge too much and still do it wrong.
Your best bet in this situation is likely a dedicated alignment shop and...
Are you trying to put the rotor on the wheel side of the hub?
The disk is held to the back side of the hub by the lug studs
This is not the KH but it shows what I'm talking about
You can not take off the disk without removing the studs.
Do you have a drum brake hub?
the issue is the diameter of the chinese rotor is too large so there is no way to centre it on the hub without some sort of shim/shimstock..what exactly is a "centric ring"?
I do 3D printing, unless you have metal 3d printing capabilities there is no plastic that will hold up to the constant movement/ vibrations.
Why not just do it right and remove the perches and weld proper steel perches in the proper locations and angles
Are you saying the center register is bigger, or that the replacement rotor doesn’t go down flat on the hub?
I have had to slightly counter sink the back of rotors so it fits over the stud swedges.
And I have gotten centric rings that take up the space between the rim center and a smaller hub.
The dumb *** truck driver was going to kill someone sooner or later. (head up ***)
Tractor driver in this case was asking for it. (probably done this for 30 years)
He is on a divided four lane Highway probably running 15 mph in a 75.
Two dumbs does not equal a right.
Just saying.
Oh and the...
following. did not have this issue when rebuilding my KH brakes last year... The problem many have encountered is the "hat" rubbing the caliper piston seal.
He was on a divided highway going, at best, 25mph. Trucker was in the wrong, but tractor man is the one that lost.
Just because it's legal doesn't make it wise.
Hope deceased farmer's family will be multi multi millionaires, apparently some folks don't know what it's like to live in rural America. There was every opportunity to avoid that, no attempt to slow, no attempt to avoid,......wtf.....
