Decided to move the diff forward as per Stephem's suggestion. I limited the move to 1 3/4" to help maintain exhaust distance. Here is the template I made out of some scrap laying around. | (1 Comments) Here you can really tell how restricted the exhaust was. | Here's the infamous stock down pipe | Not too pretty but it'll be hidden. | ||
I reinstalled the OEM heat shield. Had to beat in up a little where the factory had followed the stock bends. Had to make a couple new brackets to hold it in place. | Added an after market down pipe. The OEM's had lots of crushed places that were needed to clear the fire wall. These flow much better and help with maintaining exhaust as well as engine temps. | Here I added some extra support for the bracket, just in case.... | (2 Comments) Here is how it looks from behind. Over 90% of pad is in contact with new rotor. Should offer plenty of grip.(I hope) | ||
Different view of caliper. I had to reverse the motor on the caliper 180 degrees. It is a simple job, remove and replace two screws and try not to get any of the small gears released. Needed to reverse the electric receptacle for access. | This was a fun bracket to make. Its to hold the tesla caliper to the Allison tail housing. | These things can be bought on Ebay for not much money. The electric control isn't very difficult and there is a controller available for not too much $$. I may try one of my own though, we'll see. | Here is the Tesla parking caliper I'll be using. As I understand it these were used for parking but also could be deployed as an emergency brake during a brake failure. | ||
