I have a 36 pickup that I want to convert to frt disc brakes but was told that The calipers would hit my original wheels; What about using spacers? Thanks for the help...Richard | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,194 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,194 | The top hat spaceer is a piece that he made on a lathe. Its a bearing adaptor that looks like a small hat. The Nissan bearing inner diameter is different from the stock Chevy so he needed a adaptor to match them up. The Hard Body Nissan was a truck model from '86 -'97 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Hardbody_Truck ). Jim also hand made the caliper brackets.
