Trick new technology

Anyone happen to see the new brake floater brakects that Afco has designed for oval track cars? This is trick technology. It bascally allows the calper to ride on the axle housing decoupled with its own radius arm attached directly parallel to the chassis. What this does is it entirely takes away all braking force off of the suspesion and directs it toward the chassis- No more brake hop, or brake dive. The rdius arm can then be position adjusted up or down on the chassis mount angle to either help load the tire with more force, less force, or even no force on the rear wheels under braking.

Too bad it can't be applied to a 10-bolt street axle with welded -on bearing flanges. I am working on a way to possibly engineer something of this fashion to these cars. This in essence would allow us to run a very short torque arm with no consequences at all from brake wheel hop and can run softer rear springs accordingly to induce squat. It is the same basic principle as a decoupling TQarm.

That is badass, there goes my decoupling torque arm fabrication plans. I'll have to check it out and see what would be the easiest and best to do. Thanks Dean for the info!!
