slngsht Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Dennis mentioned they have made some custom ones in the past to accomodate larger brakes. Anyone have any experience with them?
redbaron Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 Yes, I do. Dennis had to make up some custom uprights for my car because I wanted to use 11 in dia vented rotors from a 1991 Mustang GT in combination with JFZ 4 piston calipers. &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; Red Baron
redbaron Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 No, but I will take and post some shortly.
redbaron Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 Oops, when I pulled a front wheel to take a picture of the uprights it dawned on me that you are talking about something a bit different than what I have on my car. Dennis modified the Toyota spindles and welded on brackets that allowed mounting of the 11 in Mustang GT rotors and 4 piston JFZ calipers. The "fabricated uprights" were an idea that Dennis, Frank Nolfi and I kicked around as an alternative to reworking the Toyota spindles. I think Dennis found a source for them and actually built a few. Sorry about the mix up. I will, however, post pictures of my spindles for those who might be interested. Red Baron
