Disk/Drum difference
Benzine - 30/6/04 at 01:04 PM

I picked up my kit from MK last saturday, top notch service all round I was wondering what the diffence in rear disk/drums was. I looked in the MK build manual and the parts i have look like the ones in the book which refer to drums (having an access hole to get to the drums) After i ordered my kit (about 7 weeks ago) i put drum brakes on my order form then rang up the next day to ammend the order to disk brakes. But since i don't know the difference i don't know if i have the wrong type.

Any help would be "einfach klasse"

Have a look round the Photo Archive. I saw http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/photos.php?action=showphoto&photo=back_end.jpg
but its a bit hard to tell, as they look like mine that are drum uprights. You could always give MK a bell They dont bite, well, maybe some of them look a bit dog ear'd but thats about it !:

This is the one i have, after comparing it with the book this one is slanted so is this modified for disk brakes?

Ben,

looks like the ones you have are for drums. The ones for disks have a cut out on the top corner. Give MK a ring, they will swap em for you.
