    I'm Trying To Find The Right Rear Brake Kit For My Ridgid Sporty Frame. They Say It Uses A Pm Or Gma. So Far By Looking At The Catalogs The Gma Only Comes To Fit A 10" Rotar Mine Is A 11.5 The Pm Has One That Fits The 11.5 Ridgid Custom Applications. What I'm Wondering Is My Brake Goes On The Left Side. Will This Work? Are They A Universal Type Thing. Anyway The Pm Is About 44o.o That's The Price I'm Trying To Stick Around. So If Anyone Knows Please Let Me Know, I Would Like To Buy One This Week.
    O3 Sporty
    Paughco 86 & Up Ridgid

    Guess This ? Stumped Everyone:d Since This Isn't A Priority Yet I'm Going To Wait On This One Till I Can See If There Is Some Way I Can Modify And Fab Up Something To Make The Oem One Work. But I'm Still Open To Sugestions.

    Well I Put The Oem Brake On And I Don't See Why It Wouldn't Work. All It Needs Is A Bracket Welded To The Frame In The Same Fashion As Before. The New Frame Is 9" Wide Where The Old Swing Arm Was 8.5" So Some New Spacers Are In Order. The Spacer Hince The Word Spacer Meaning Only One, That Came With The Axle Kit Was Far Off From Being Enough. Then I Looked On The Paughco Site. They Put The Axle Bolt In Throuh The Brake Side Which Means The Nut Goes On The Drive Side, The Bolt Has No Safety Pin For The Nut, So I Would Think If The Shaft Was To Move I Would Want The Nut To Tighten Not Loosen.
