Master Yota...heres a problem I had, not a biggie tho...I did have to grind about 1/8" off the rear of my np200 brake bracket snout to clear the flange to drum bolts. I ground enough off so the seal sits flush outside.I would suggest that you bolt everything up including drum and flange before ...

Thanks Master Yota. I can't claim complete credit for coming up with the drum idea. I found another guy with about the same setup on an...AHEM...M715 site(you know...the other army truck). Mine is just simpler...

First off, the pads only engage the disk about 50% because of the small disk and and the pads hitting th...
