Rear Discs with A1 Sidewinder

That is exactly why I had to stop my conversion to disks and stick with drums.  I didn't have time (2 weeks before Carlisle a year or two ago) to have the muffler relocated.  One of these days I will get around to doing it properly.

Carey just converted mine this winter.  When I dropped it off last fall, they took a quick look at the muffler clearance on the sidewinder and said it would work.  Carey has done a bunch of test drives and hasn't reported rear brake failure, so I should be good :-)  Btw, still planning to pick up my car tomorrow.

Thats great!  Mine unfortunately had zero room.  I just looked at the muffler itself and there is black rubber on it too.  I wonder if cary could chime in and say how he gets it to clear?  Different brakes?

He told me how, but I'll let him respond if he wishes.  I don't want to reveal any trade secrets :-)

no worries.  I am going to enjoy pissing off my neighbors for a bit with the race bullet anyway...but someday hope to be able to put the originall exhaust back on.  Here is a pic of the brake line.  You can see where the muffler was hitting it...

Carey has to cut and re-weld the Sidewinder anyway, as the Beck frame has a tube there that conflicts with the normal Sidewinder setup.  There is about 1/8" between the muffler and frame on once side and the tire on the other.  I looked at mine, and you could cut 1/2" to 3/4" out of the tube connecting it to the header to move the muffler a little further back.  That should provide enough clearance, and I'll bet that's what Carey does.  You might be able to squeeze in some heat shield to prevent boiling brake fluid.

 I have mettel hard lines on my car that go down from the caliper make a few small loops then up over the trailing arm where it conects to the rubber line in a protected aera, I did not like the rubber line coming out of the caliper and having to make that turn, rubber if for flex not for making turns around stuff, thats when you get into problems.

   also the ebrake cable on most are not in a good position either,I made a adaptor for it and rerouted it too.

In the speedster we do exactly what Marksbug mentioned. A 17" hard line carefully and properly bent will do the trick after you ditch the short rubber hose.
Alternatively there are banjo fittings that can be used there too.

I dont know why they dont come with a prebent line for an added $8, to the kit.

  I realize the swing&irs could use a diferent lines. So  line kit could be offered for each. or just send straight line that could be used, but too many people cant do lines....no not that kind of line.for $an added $15 they could include lines for both swing&irs & everybody would be happy. in the end the builder should build a good delevered product.

This reminds me to check my line once the weather gets warmer.

Mine are hardpiped for about 18", then flex tube to meet the hard line from the master-cylinder. It solves a lot of issues.

Update on this VS is sending me some new brake lines with the banjo fittings...should work out well I hope!
