DIY Cross Kart Brakes ~ YZ450 Buggy Build

Рет қаралды 23,232

Жыл бұрын

In todays video I make custom brakes for the yz450f buggy by modifying Miata brake rotors to fit trailer 4x4 wheel hubs. We opened up the center bore on the rotors to slide on the backside of the hubs. This allowed us to use the wheel studs to hold the rotors to hubs. Then we ran 3an braided brake lines and 3/16 stainless hardlines. Next we modified the radiator by putting a 45 degree angle pipe on the fill lid. We're almost to the finish line!!

Since you have the lathe, I would machine the back of the wheel hubs where the brakes are mounted to flat enough to where the rotors have a flat spot to set against. Those hubs are made from cast and the tolerances on where the lugs go in are horrendous. They just leave them as it is as it does not matter what the tolerances are since its just a spot to hold the wheel onto the hub. The wobble that is shown in the video will wear through brake pads so fast even if it is a smooth rotor.

I noticed the rotor wobble myself.

I love that when Mrs. Red Beard is filming, she holds the camera so very smooth. Some You-Tube channels, while they film, shake their camera way too much and zoom in and out so much and so quick that it makes it hard to watch what's actually going on. Keep up the good work Mrs. Red Beard!! It really makes a difference. Your skills are great.

@levipatzer4276 Жыл бұрын

Hey red beard!!! net time you are mounting up a caliper hook it to your air compressor and it'll hold it right in place for you to weld in, works like a charm!!!!!

I’d leave the radiator neck the way it is cause it adds character.

@AZ-Patriot Жыл бұрын

That long neck on there is perfect. It's the best possible fill point for the cooling system.

@CncObsession Жыл бұрын

I am hoping that rotor wobble was due to the lug nuts not being tight or even on. Otherwise the hub casting might need to be faced on the lathe. The backside is not a finished side, that is the raw casting. I run those same rotors on my golf cart but use the wheel to sandwich the rotor to the hub.

@RedBeardsGarage Жыл бұрын

It was the lug studs not seated all the way. Saw it while editing and fixed it after the video.

That is just genius. Basically spare autozone parts to make a custom 4 wheel disc brakes setup. Never in a million years would i think to myself "hey lets take a rear miata rotor and some cheap trailer hubs and make a custom disk brake setup"

I've seen people just use air pressure to operate calipers for mocking up the mount. Also @ the 9min mark it looks like that rotor is wobbly.

That’s a nice ride there, if I’d ever thought of building my own rides growing up there’s no telling what all id be doing by now, I was fortunate enough to have a dad who could afford to buy all my 3 wheelers and dirt bikes growing up, he was a master machinist , if id ever mentioned it I know he’d been able to machine anything id needed, about the only things being built back then were people turning VW’s into dune buggy’s

Keep the longer neck. Could be a benefit when filling up the radiator and engine with coolant.

I took an idea from Coleman for my fl459 build. A simple bracket with a bolt, spring and a couple nuts will give you a simple parking brake. You will have to manually reach down to set it, but once you press the pedal the spring retracts the bolt and the pedal is free to move back and forth. Helps me on my hilly yard when opening the gates and it also helps with creep too.

Hi Red, new fan here. Question: would those brake caliper brackets benefit from having a small angled piece giving them sideways stability? I'm not a welder or a builder (yet), so I'm curious if that would be helpful or just overkill.

@rong4189 Жыл бұрын

Just saying this to no one in particular, but these high mounted radiators, if heaven forbid there should be a failure of the radiator, a split, cap comes off etc., the thought of a 180 degree shower is just too much lol. I’d have to shield myself from that somehow.
