[QUOTE="grcthird, post: 270459, member: 1181"] Ok here is the skinny on this setup, IFS calipers Tacoma Rotors (These happened to be off an early Prerunner). SFA hub bodies, turned down the outer edge to slip inside the Tacoma Rotor (I used the brake lathe at work with the drum adapter turned upside down....This took forever BTW). Pressed the studs back into the hub body using a press. Tired the BFH and then the air hammer first, neither would push it all the way in. [IMG]http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af234/grcthird/85%20Toyota/BBA80C2C-orig.jpg[/IMG] Mocked it all up and the outside of the caliper barely hits on the outside of the rotor. [IMG]http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af234/grcthird/85%20Toyota/68D9DBFE-orig.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af234/grcthird/85%20Toyota/8898B6AA-orig.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af234/grcthird/85%20Toyota/D11E1AC8-orig.jpg[/IMG] About this time is where that annoying sonofabitch voice kicks in and says "Keep going fawker, you've done too much to give up now, can't leave well enough alone, can you?" :gtfo: ::) My solution was to grind the inside of the mounting tabs on the caliper until they were about .540" thick (average thickness measuring with a dial caliper and as close as I could get using a grinder). Grind, measure, grind, measure, grind, measure, repeat, I'm too impatient for this ****. [IMG]http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af234/grcthird/85%20Toyota/9DEADE70-orig.jpg[/IMG] Now they are centered in the caliper. Note how much further the caliper bolts stuck thru the tabs on the knuckle and that gives you an idea how much material has to be removed. If I had it to do over again, I'd stick with what I had. Grinding the caliper sucks, and also takes forever, would be better done on a mill. This truck doesn't see steert driving and I probably wouldn't do this to a daily driver. Turning the hub down takes forever, I'm no machinist. :flipoff1: Also the Landcruiser rotors I had on it are just a tad bigger diameter, the pads happen to ride on that tad bit of rotor that is no longer there. I did gain extra width since the rotor is now between the hub and wheel, not much but a little bit. I can slip the rotor off for whatever reason :dunno: Maybe this week I'll get around to doing the other side... [/QUOTE]
