All,
Like many others I am working on adapting disc brakes to my 1951 GMC 1 Ton. I think that I have the rotor and caliper that I am going to use figured out and I am working on my template for the mounting bracket for the caliper and want to know if caliper placement makes a difference. I have looked at various years and various makes/models and have seen the caliper at the 3 o'clock, 12 o'clock and 10 o'clock position looking at the drivers side assembly on the different vehicles. Before I get to far I would like to clarify if position makes a difference or if it is just about clearances with the steering and suspension.
Thanks for your input.
