"You have been missed Ray, call in more often when you get a chance, Maybe you need a holiday away from Thailand to recover a bit "

Or Thailand needs a holiday from me so it can recover a bit!

Thanks Jim I will pass it on!

MM Good to touch base with you again. Yes, excellent advice! My cardiologist here in Thailand has stopped having a sense of humor about my trying to drop dead on him :D I am recovering apace and should be back down in South America in another 2 months for my son's wedding. Hey, I'd rather be lucky t...

Thanks, I will try my best to take your advise unfortunately I tend to be a bit stubborn (at least according to my Doctor)!

Hello, MM and Robi I will be back in Florida June 22 if anyone need s disc brakes for their M37. I just went through a second heart attach in 6 years so these 30 sets are probably the last that will be available. You can email me at rsuiter@helitool.com, I will only be in Florida for a month after t...

I have plenty of disc brake sets available for the M37 in Medford, Oregon. I have trained a machinist in Georgia to do the hub conversion. $530 is the cost per set plus shipping and includes the cost of converting the hubs. Rotors are about $30 each and calipers $60 each from your local parts store....

About 4 years ago I Tossed out the fixtures for the front M37 V8 mounts. I had about 50 sets in-stock and was going to redesign the front mount so that it was the same as the new one we use for the PW. Unfortunatly I moved from Oregon to Thailand a couple of years ago and no longer have access to an...

You might try going to the official M37 forum.....oh wait a minute..That's where we are now! I know that other people have done engine conversions for their M37s maybe they can email me some pics of their efforts and I can post them on uglytruckling.com along with any description and parts sources t...

One of the problems is that with the increase in the price of steel most of the older doner trucks have been scrapped so the bell housings etc. are hard to find, also I used up all of the cores in the USA for the clutch disc. I had intended on redesigning it to use more modern parts but probably wil...

I have uploaded the Aimco disc brake rotor size charts that I use to find the proper size rotor for a disc brake conversion to www.uglytruckling.com These charts list all of the dimensional data for 580 different disc brake rotors starting with 8" diameter and going to 15". If you are tryi...

Currently $530 per axle. I will be increasing the price to $590 in August. The installation manual is on our website www.uglytruckling.com

Does anyone need disc brake conversions before I leave?

I am getting ready to do the next run of hub conversions, so if you still want a set email me at rsuiter@helitool.com. Joe McGinnis Callison Enterprises, Inc. in Blairsville, Ga will be converting hubs for our customers in the eastern part of the US. This should provide considerable savings in both ...

"Is everyone here too new to recognize Tim Peterson's name?" Paul, you are 100% correct! Tim was the original developer of the disc brake set for these trucks. When he stopped making them I redesigned the caliper bracket so that it was a bolt on and the end user did not have to scrounge ch...

Thanks

Most of the disc brake sets I ship go to the east coast. This forces customers to ship their hubs all the way to the west coast to have them converted. This is very expensive and time consuming for them. If you know of anyone who has a small machine shop in the eastern part of the US this would prob...
