Internal brake disc thickness
 

Hey guys long time since I’ve visited here. But I have a question. Does anyone know what the thickness of the internal brake disc? I’ve replaced the internal brake pucks in my 1200. The brake disc was chewed up so I had a friend turn it and clean it up. Now I cannot get any brake pedal. Thanks!

A tape measure on a new one is 11/32"

Well that stands to reason why the brakes still won’t work.Mine that was chewed up and turned on a lathe to clean up measured .163 on calipers. Do you have one you would sell?

I misunderstood the puck is 11/32. are you sure you adjusted the brake correctly?

I believe I have. It’s like the piston doesn’t go in far enough to contact the brake disc. Which would figure if the disc is too thin. But I’d think I’d run out of adjustment. Idk I need a break from this thing for a few days or a week. I’ve had this rear end out twice now. The piston was chewed up too, but I cleaned it up with a dremel and I’m that doesn’t change how much the puck protrudes from it.

I figured out my mistake! I found the answer here on OCC I copied it below

Just so you know, when you test your internal brakes, you have to do it with both wheels on the ground. If you have it jacked up, the wheels will just turn freely, but in opposite directions. The internal pucks stop the axle, but before the differential.

I took it off the jack stands and I now have brakes! I feel stupid now, but learned something! It has to be on the ground or you cannot get the brakes to engage!
