ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a conversion kit having substantially four pairs of pieces including a pair of rotors, a pair of calipers, a pair of bracket plates, and a pair of hub inserts along with the necessary fastening structure. The installation or conversion is as follows: The drum brake is completely removed from the axle and the new rotor is mounted thereon. The rotor is bored out to form a longitudinal cylindrical channel therethrough and the hub insert having an elongated cylindrical portion and a flanged portion is force-fitted with the hollow elongated aperture of the hub until the flange is force-fitted within a circular recess on the outer face of the hub and fastened there so that its face is generally coplanar with the face of the hub. The rear surface mounting structure on the core of the hub is aligned with mounting apertures in one end of the bracket plate and with mounting apertures in the flange at the end of the axle and fastening structure are inserted therethrough for securing them fixedly together. The caliper is mounted to apertures in the opposite end of bracket plate which operatively positions the caliper with its slot about the outer peripheral edge portion and sides of the disk for conventional disk braking purposes, as known in the art.
