    Since you have the lathe, I would machine the back of the wheel hubs where the brakes are mounted to flat enough to where the rotors have a flat spot to set against. Those hubs are made from cast and the tolerances on where the lugs go in are horrendous. They just leave them as it is as it does not matter what the tolerances are since its just a spot to hold the wheel onto the hub. The wobble that is shown in the video will wear through brake pads so fast even if it is a smooth rotor.

    I love that when Mrs. Red Beard is filming, she holds the camera so very smooth. Some You-Tube channels, while they film, shake their camera way too much and zoom in and out so much and so quick that it makes it hard to watch what's actually going on. Keep up the good work Mrs. Red Beard!! It really makes a difference. Your skills are great.

    Hey red beard!!! net time you are mounting up a caliper hook it to your air compressor and it'll hold it right in place for you to weld in, works like a charm!!!!!

    That long neck on there is perfect. It's the best possible fill point for the cooling system.

    That’s a nice ride there, if I’d ever thought of building my own rides growing up there’s no telling what all id be doing by now, I was fortunate enough to have a dad who could afford to buy all my 3 wheelers and dirt bikes growing up, he was a master machinist , if id ever mentioned it I know he’d been able to machine anything id needed, about the only things being built back then were people turning VW’s into dune buggy’s

    I am hoping that rotor wobble was due to the lug nuts not being tight or even on. Otherwise the hub casting might need to be faced on the lathe. The backside is not a finished side, that is the raw casting. I run those same rotors on my golf cart but use the wheel to sandwich the rotor to the hub.

      @@RedBeardsGarage Do you realize that brake rotors are allowed only a few thousandths of an inch (0.002") run-out, or the 'wobble' you guys are referring to. You may be able to get away with maybe as much as 0.005" on a go-kart. Yes i agree that you should locate the bearing bore of the hub or just indicate the flange of the hub to align with lathe rotating axes in order to insure that the brake rotor is parallel to the rotation of the wheel. or aligned with the rotational axes of the wheel. then take a clean up cut off the back side of the hub then and only then will it be true enough. You could also determine a dimension from the newly machined face to the wheel flange, or from the bearing bore, to make a consistent and repeatable 'brake hub' from the wheel hub so that all the brake systems you build from now on are the same.

      @@RedBeardsGarage Do you know how to check run-out with a dial indicator? If that is information that you think would be valuable to you, than I think you could find the procedures on line and certainly on UA-cam. Checking for rotor run-out on automotive brake systems is common procedure in the industry. Thanks, John Toolan, Auto Mechanic, Machinist, Craftsman and Fabricator. Also have practiced skills in, Electrical systems, Hydraulic systems, Pneumatic systems, Welding, Sheet metal, and, Mechanical Engineering. Also, would like to say that your idea for putting these components together is very creative, and very sound Engineering. I love to build with off the shelf components that are cheap and abundant. And I Engineer my projects so that the assemblies can be repaired or replaced with ease and simplicity anywhere the maintenance is performed, or, the break-down may occur, out on the road, out in the back woods, or in the drive way, anywhere in the Country, any State. No need for proprietary parts or assemblies that can be had from only one source, not with this kind of build. Good job!

    I took an idea from Coleman for my fl459 build. A simple bracket with a bolt, spring and a couple nuts will give you a simple parking brake. You will have to manually reach down to set it, but once you press the pedal the spring retracts the bolt and the pedal is free to move back and forth. Helps me on my hilly yard when opening the gates and it also helps with creep too.
