'79 HD MGIV - Caliper brakes shot? or not??
Hey guys, hoping someone with brake experience can point me in the right direction....apologies for not using the right lingo as i'm a total newbie.
I have a '79 HD MGIV. For the brakes, there is a single metal disk in the center off the drive train, then there's what I would call a caliper style brake that says "Nissin" on it. If i have the back end of the cart off the ground and manually rotate the wheels...there is no sound. However if i press and release the accelerator, that turns the disk going through the caliper brake and there is a metal on metal sound. The sound gets worse if i hit the brakes. So i took the brake unit off and took some pics. It looks like the way it was mounted was way crooked and perhaps the puck pad thing wore out both sides. So my question is...can i just buy some HD Nissin brake pucks, replace then mount it so the wear is even? Are there any other options?? Thanks, M |
