Pics of my rotor spacer
Sunday, July 31, 2011 1:09 PM
I installed my neon rears about a year ago and was never happy with the washers behind the rotor to space it out. So i had my buddy make me some one piece spacers to do the job. While i was at his shop i used his sand blaster to blast away the old, brake fluid eaten paint that was on the brackets and put a new fresh coat on. Here are the pics of all this.

C and c welcome.

Nice work on the spacers.
I would say what these ^ folks are suggesting, that no spacers were used because the lip on the back rotor was cut off.

so u left that lip on and when you didnt have any rubbing issues at all? i have tried running without the spacers and i get a lot of rubbing. did u run an ebrake with your set up?

I run an ebrake.. I assume spencer does too..

I did use a brake lathe to pull that lip down about 0.080" though.

Interesting... I hate washers... so Spencer, What year did your neon brakes come from? And was it a Dodge or Plymouth neon? Actually... What is your secret? lol

actually i think it may just be that i trimmed the backing sheilds smaller than others. Thans the only thing ive seen that came close that i had to move around a bit was them. Lathing down the lip is a nice idea tho, i may do that when i have them off next.
