Swing Arm Extension ?

[McyMike]

For a three inch extension, I can turn the brake line around and make that fit...where can I get the extended rod for the caliper support/anchor? I bought another one and thought about cutting it and welding in a section..but that will probably cost more than just buying one.

I have a thompsons 3-9" over arm and use the stock brake line and have it set at about 7 1/2" over stock. It fits but it wouldn't go all the way to 9" over. I don't think that you will have to change the caliper support but i have never installed that small of an extension. Good luck.

you can go to a speed shop (cars) and get 2 threaded rod ends and a length of tubing,and you can make it as long or short as you need

the way i did it,was to move the mount on the arm back,i am only 1.75'' over and stock appearance was the goal

so the stock brake line is long enough for 6 over?

You will need a NEW brake line for sure....

You will NOT need the support bar that is referred to up above because the caliper rotates as you extend the arm out... Thus the caliper will not be sitting in the same position it is stock... I know it doesn't sound like it makes much sense, but when you get into it, you will see what I mean...

Stock line is good for 6 over, simply reverse the mount. The bar is a different story. Mine is simply threaded rod with Hiem joints on each end.

Here is how I did mine... Notice how the caliper is rotated forward as the wheel goes back...
