SS brakes and vented CB = problems

[noogie]

my vented CB and disc brakes are intefering with one another. The disc actually sits in the vent and prevents the CB from spinning. Also, I tried putting the red fiber pads on and the CB does spin at all. Any Ideas?

check to see it not hitting anything else or make sure the clutch shoes are on properly.

Check to see if your screws that hold the disc brakes on have not stripped out the trans case and make sure they are lined up properly. I've seen this problem before and usally this is the case. They like to come loose and then get hooked on the cb and end up stripping out the transmission housing. Good Luck let us know.

also check to see if the motor plate is bent

Motor plate and or bad spur bell combo if cb is 15 or smaller

check for the bent motor plate and tvp's

what size cb is on it. and is it a low cg tvp? FLM will not work 14/47 in the standard length. lock up just like you say. i was looking for small block options when I found this out

Bank,

I have a 17 tooth CB and stock x tvp's. From what I can see, the disc have alot of play on the brake hub itself. I can move the discs forwards and backward quite freely.

As stated before, even when I put the factory dual fiber discs on I still have issues. The fiber pads rest right up against the CB.

I had the same problem and it was my plate bent. It was way too difficult to see that with the mill on. The cb in my case tore one of the fiberdisks apart.
