What application is this on?
Those spindles are 1985 Honda Odyssey FL350R. I am also making a version for the 1989 and 1990 Honda Pilot FL400R. They are both drum brakes from the factory. Likely the reason they used drums instead of disks like the sport quads is the machine weighs 630lbs. Some people have used quad calipers, but putting brakes off a 250lb machine on one that weighs 2 1/2 times that is not going to provide better braking. The calipers are available in multiple piston sizes to fine tune the brake lever movement.A third application is generic hubs for standard 1" spindles. The brake rotors are the same ones used on the Formula Cross. I will be revising the hub design when I put that car back into production. The new setup reduces the distance from the king pin line to the hub face reducing tire scrub. The old Formula Cross has too much scrub IMO.
I'm not sure if anything new has drum brakes.
So ,that just means Honda still has their head up their ass. OR they see a lot of repair work for dealers keeping the drums. Gee, I wonder if that could be intentional? LOL!!!!
