rake vw brake conversion part 4

Here I have the caliper and stabilzers mounted on the back plate, these stabilzers can be made out of angle iron, I had mine laser cut and bent where I work.  I'm sure you handymen can probably make a better looking set than mine

And here I have the finished product, because this assembly takes up most of the room in the wheel, make sure nothing rubs the rim from inside, I had to grind down the stabilizer plates for that reason, all works smooth now.

Here I have  the complete asembly with the brake hose attached, I used a brake hose that fits a 1988 Beauville van (GMC), as well as the original mounting brackets from that truck. I chose these hoses because of their length.
