i kind of like my big cast iron wheels and i was wondering if any of you guys have mounted rotors in place of the big drums on the back of the dayton cast spoke wheels?
i am not a master fabricator, but it seems like it would be possible. the bolt pattern diameter is around 10.5" that mounts the drum to the wheel. 5 bolts hold it. i cant find a rotor with a bolt diameter that large. what do you think about making an adapter to fit those holes and on the other side making the pattern fit a standard rotor from something like a c60 or c70 or kodiak. seems possible...
I would still need to fabricate a way to mount the calipers to the axle but there is a rigid plate there that holds the shoes. there is a flange on the axle with 8 bolts holding it. would modifications need include a new master cylinder and booster?
i am just throwing this out there to see if this is a bad idea or if it is plausible. Thoughts?
