Harrison bike torque converter brake setup

[Dcoughlin313]

Hi all!
Iam getting ready to strip my bike down for paint and some mods.
Thinking about adding a clone #30 torque converter .
What do i do for brakes?
Can some one point me into the most cost effective direction .
I have a Predator 212

Also what front and rear sprockets #s should i run.

If it makes it easier i can add a jackshaft .
I do have access to welders n stuff but if i can buy instead of make parts it would be easier.:hammer:

I have a band brake on my jackshaft that works good, you will have to weld mounting tabs to your frame for shaft installation, you could then choose your gearing with only two sprockets, fabbing up a scrub brake is another option but I think the band would be more effective........................Tom.

Shocks????? Why not just get a suspension bike?

Shocks? lol ?

So get a jackshaft and slide on a 6" brake drum or disc ...i think my gears are turning

 

[Dcoughlin313]

oops a 4"

You can run what the Ruttmans run..2 1/2'' puck on the jackshaft and band brake. They have them at Allied Leisure. And ya..I need glasses. lol
