I've been talking to him about creating a disk brake conversion for 1-ton and 3/4-ton Stovebolts.
The liability issue has stopped me cold. I don't think designing a conversion would be a big problem, but between the size of the market (I'm sure we could sell six or eight of them) and the liability exposure I think I now know why there isn't a kit available for the bigger trucks.
yeah.... i'd consider making a drawing of whatever bracket i come up with available to someone to post but parts retailing.... darn lawyers
another of my automotive addictions involves a small german car with 4 rings on the grill.... there is an organization out there that had to deal with the same issue in order to make brake bracket adapters available. they ended up having a non proffit organization set up, and by joining you forfeited all right to sue those that provided the info to make the brackets, or whomever you bought them off of. if i actually pull this off, i'll look into piggybacking on that.
