I thought that all had gone well with the disc brake conversion on the bugeye, but have a couple of questions which make me suspect that something is awry.
First there is only about 3/8" clearance between the disc and the tie rod end. Is this as it should be ?
Also I can't see how the dust covers are attached. The manual seems to show them going between the spindle and the disc, but there does not seem to be any room. I searched the web and a lot of conversions do not seem to use the covers. Is this ok ?
If I have done it correctly, pictures are attached.
