1/10 Mining Dump Truck

Drum Brakes.

some stainless sheet , 3mm thick, aluminium for the drums and some 6x1 stainless pipes



the square sheets are turning into round and welded together with the pipes



welded onto the joints


first tests. all things going well.





i need stops on the axles to prevent the drum from contact with the baseplate

a lack of suitable stainless washers forces me to made my own
small pieces of a 1mm sheet


turned together to the od


et voila


welded on position


in the their front , the drums has holes to hold two bearing and a spacer.
in the back the big hole for the brake pad holders


put on the axle, the drum fits well and has no contact. the double bearings are strong enough to avoid tilting.



A good start into this chapter.
