Brake Caliper Mounts & Rebuild - Tracked Amphibious Vehicle Build Ep. 4

Latest video: Converting this shortened LADA VAZ 2101 rear axle from drum to disc brakes - this axle will be used as a skid steering / brake-differential steering unit on the tracked amphibious all terrain vehicle that I’m fabricating at the moment. No welding was needed for the actual mounts of the brake supports although I managed to turn one half axle smaller in diameter than needed and had to MIG weld some steel on it and turn it again so it would fit the brake rotor of 2001 1.9 D Peugeot Partner.

It was cheaper to rebuild these brakes rather than buying completely new ones. This axle & brakes unit will be coupled with tractor PTO parts to transmit power to the rear wheels that drive the tracks. By doing so I can position this differential more freely inside the tub of the tracked amphibious ATV which leaves me more options with the f
