i don't have pics right now..
Since it is a CC 14b, when converting to Discs running a SRW, you have to offset the rotor a fair amount. Options are get custom bracket that moves the caliper outwards that mounts to the existing flange or get custom brackets that weld directly to the tube, between the flange and the spindle. The latter is what is currently on my axle. However the flange is still present. Because of that, i cannot effectively mount my lower shock mount outwards as much as i want to have the ORI leaning inwards towards the top.
To add to the mess, the current caliper bracket that is welded to the tube is setup to have the caliper at the back of the rotor. Again because of clearance, i have to move the calioper to the front of the rotor.
So, my perfect scenario is to cut/grind off the back side of the wraparound OE drum brake flange (Retain the front side of the flange to mount my new CC caliper mounts that i have ordered so that i can spin the caliper to the front of the rotor). Then also remove the existing caliper mount that was welded to the tube when the 14b was originally converted to discs....
My concern lies in removing half of the existing OE drum flange.. I just want to make sure that doing so will not weaken the tube. I have yet to find any info on this..
