Re: Fwd: Pacer Suspension:



Andrew, could you scan and send me the page with the flange thicknesses, or make up a chart of years and thickness, disc or drum brakes? Sounds like I got it backwards, but I got the info from someone else who mentioned that the DISC spindle had the thicker flange for the caliper offset. Doesn't sound right, as the caliper adapter is 3/8" thick itself. Disc spindle flange would seemingly need to be thinner to keep tread from increasing to much.
