Rotational shear that has to overcome friction between the spindle and knuckle, but not much else. 3/8 has a shear strength around 10,000 lbs, multiply by 5 and that's 50,000 lbs. My brakes couldn't do a tenth of that.BDKW1 wrote:I disagree, but it wasn't My vehicle........... When you bolt it to the spindle, your putting a lot more stress on the bolts holding it in. I would be checking those bolts a lot more often than you normally would.........
Philo - is your bracket picking up 3 or 5 spindle bolts? I can't tell from the pictures.philofab wrote:BDKW1 wrote:Rotational shear that has to overcome friction between the spindle and knuckle, but not much else. 3/8 has a shear strength around 10,000 lbs, multiply by 5 and that's 50,000 lbs.

If they're using 5 or 6, there should be no issues whatsoever with a bolted on bracket as it mimics what Ford did on their solid axle trucks prior to 1980 and what GM did with theirs through '91. When I ran the numbers awhile back, the 2 piston PBR calipers exerted a similar brake torque with the 13" rotors as the stock Ford/Chevy single piston calipers did with the stock 11.75" rotors.
I'd have to back and review the mounting configuration of the PBR calipers on the Mustang Cobras but I think they used 3 bolts on a smaller bolt circle in their setup.
