Project American Heroes - Tri-Five Disc-Brake Kit - Brake 'Em Down, Line 'Em Up

The "Tri-Power" three-piston caliper is mounted to the caliper bracket, and bolts are tightened.

The SSBC Internal Parking Brake uses stainless steel components, demonstrating the high commitment to safety and engineering. Later in the assembly process, Lokar handle and cables will actuate the parking brake.

The internal parking brake assembly is fitted over the Moser axle, and the axle is inserted in the housing.

Fasteners are inserted through the SSBC split bracket and then tightened through the access hole in the axle flange.

Rotor is installed over the lugs, enclosing the internal parking brake assembly. Two lug nuts are fastened to hold the assembly together.

The rear caliper is attached to the caliper bracket, and bolts are again tightened. Note the unidirectional vented rotor, which, of course, helps keep the rotor cool for heat dissipation, reducing brake fade and increasing braking performance.

The "Tri-Power" three-piston caliper is available with either 38mm, 45mm or 51mm stainless steel pistons, depending on application. Project American Heroes will run the 45mm pistons.

Classic Tube provided the brake lines for Project American Heroes. As it says in their ads, they are "Bent on Perfection."

As Doug was working on the brake lines, Neil Gerber walked by and commented: "Check out the nicest brake lines on the planet."

"Thru-frame" fittings are used to allow the lines to attach at the inside of the framerails at the four corners, and exit on the outside of the rails. Lines are protected from bending around the rails, resulting in a slick installation.
