1. #22456 (Formula/Sports Racing Committee) Disc Brakes in FV - Member Survey
At the recommendation of the FV ad hoc committee, the CRB recommends the option of disc
brakes in FV.
Add the following:
9.1.1.4.D. Front and/or rear brake drums and backing plate assemblies may be replaced
with a disc brake conversion assembly as an option. The front spindle/steering knuckle, rear
axle, axle tube, bearing housing and bearing retainer/seal assembly must remain per GCR
part 9.1.1. A spacer plate or a portion of the rear caliper support may be fitted beneath the
bearing retainer to replace the backing plate dimension. Any ferrous alloy, unvented rotor may
be used, but must have a maximum diameter of 11.75 in. and a minimum thickness of 0.20
in. The otherwise smooth rotor may have a maximum of three pad cleaning grooves per side.
Any ferrous or aluminum alloy caliper and caliper support may be used. The caliper must have
no more than four pistons and weigh a minimum of 1.65 lbs. Brake pads are free. Any hub
assembly may be used as long as it can be fitted with part 9.1.1. wheels.
