I have a mini sprint with a midget front end (sanders spindles, and 6-pin hubs- a little older stuff), that I am having trouble fitting a left front brake to.
As you can see in my pictures below I am having an interference issue between my caliper and wheel center (A). Ignore the tape, it was initial on with the wheel and tire to see where I was hitting.
I must be missing an offset part of some kind? If its the wheel center it would need to be offset by a total of 2.5" and couldn't interfere with the bottom of the caliper which lies on a diameter about 7.0". I don't think they even make a center like this?
Second thought, a friend recalls older midgets having an offset rotor. Similar in form to our passenger cars offset style. I belive mod's and / or hobby stocks run something like this called a rotor hat? Anyone familiar with a midget version? If so, are they still even available?
My third guess, is it just a different caliper needed (i.e.- smaller).
Please see pics. Any thougths greatly appreciated!
