Weld on rear caliper bracket

[tronic]

My BJ40 is overseas and forgot to measure the axle tube diameter for the right bracket. I found the plans for the bolt on bracket, which has it at 4" diameter, is this correct? Anyone with install pics or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dan

The axle tube is about 3 1/8" diameter

I don't get where the tube diameter comes in to play here....

What am I missing??........

Different bolt mounting configurations I'm aware of but.........?

Post a vendor link to the supplier of such...........

The tube diameter is needed for the bracket, AA-mfg.com makes the weld on brackets. I was looking into these as they are cheaper than the bolt-on setups I have seen.

Never checked out that site before now...... now that I have, NO THANKS!

I got the weld on from AA and found the pita factor too high. I have a 76 and the rear axle has a flange the interferes with the position of the weld on brackets. I got the bolt ons and the put the weld on brackets in the scrap bucket. You can have them for cheap if you want them but not the way I would go.

I have no idea what the AA's cost, but PM me for perhaps a better choice at perhaps the same price???

Thanks for the info, will just go for the bolt on brackets and call it a day. Dan

Get a hold of Poser on here. I have his rear disc brake brackets on 3 of my cruisers. Never any issues and he is a stand up guy.
