small Ford differentials, with 28 spline axles.
from Currie Enterprises, they are 28 spline Billet Steel Axles and Currie Ford
reconditioned 8" Ford differential.
Bill Currie Axles are made to my specifications, and are also used in my Custom
Width Rear Axle Housing Assembly.
We can also supply the Custom Width rear axle housing to your specs.
The wide-track Pioneer body style rear-axle assembly is 45 1/2 inches wide, drum
to drum.
The Liberty and Patriot body axle brake surface to brake surface width is 38 ½
inches wide, drum to drum for use of
up to 12 ½ Section Width Tires.

Brakes
To keep the axle-housing and kit affordable, and give the you the option of
choosing your own
brake system, backing plates and brake parts are not included.
Brake parts from most 8 inch small bearing Ford brake systems will work (1964 to
1979) the smaller the better.
Remember. Your trike does not weigh as much as a car. A good size would be:
mustang, Comet, Granada etc.
NOTE: Must be 8 inch 5 lug axles, known as "5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern"
These smaller brake systems will work with 5/8 inch or 3/4-inch rear Harley
master cylinders.
NOTE: 3/4-inch works best.
The 113 cu.in. S&S powered trike on the homepage of this website has a "Speedway
Automotive"
Part# 835-100262, Black Gold Brake Kit Street Rod Wilwood Disc brake Kit.
$550.00 option
It comes with two 4 piston black anodized calipers. The 3/4 inch FL/FX master
cylinder that
I used is just a little on the small side, but makes them work Great, they feel
like Power Brakes,
a 5/8 inch will NOT work with these calipers. This kit is a little bit of
overkill for the weight
of the trike, but believe this; It DEFINITELY has great brakes.
All Brakes should use a Residual Valve. These Valves hold a little pressure on
the Brake Pads or Shoes,
allowing the Brake Pedal Not to have to travel down to far before engaging to
the Drum or Rotor
