You don't use the c clips anymore, the hub would hold the axle in place then.

Very nice pieces! I was planning to do this myself recently, though I would have to do my own machining. This is a nice option.

Thanks for the compliment.

Wish this was around before I bought my wilwood rear breaks. Love your bringing good ideas to life.

Thank you, Ive got a few more ideas Ill be sharing too!

I am guessing axle will have a threaded portion on the end such to affix a nut? Wont this 'pull' on the 'C' clips and cause unwanted wear? 9" applications wont have this issue what will prevent the axle from sliding out on a 9"

Just not picturing the axle setup at the moment.

Great questions and looks like Donny (below) answered. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for helping out with questions.

^ Jay the axles need to be located so they don't float in and out of the 3rd member. Stielow's design uses an oem style nut on the axle ends. On my ford 9", there's a plate screwed into the outside hub center with a bolt running into the axle to keep it in position.

Strange is making your axles, correct? If so I'm sure they have a provision for this.

Jay,

I think I got the answers I needed - I assume the axles (Strange) have a shoulder that goes against the inside of the bearing and probably a nut (ala Corvette) that goes outside the bearing splines. That means you must remove the hub to pull the axle? And I assume the seal presses inside your axle end flange. I plan on adding the bearings to a Pontiac housing to go under a 62 Corvette (offset 3-link) for a little autocross fun. Do you have a kit built up and ready to sell? Also, looks like your alignment tool is set up for a 1.5 inch bar - do you happen to have one for a 2 inch bar?

You are correct Ron. My set-up utilizes the OEM lock as well.

The hub will butt against a shoulder/washer on the axle, the outer threads on the axle will accept the OEM axle nut to anchor the hub to the axle, and the hubs 3 bolt flange will bolt to the weld on C6 Flange End/Spacer to positively locate the axle. Yes the hub must be removed to pull the axle, and yes the seal presses into the Weld on C6 Flange.
Yes the fixture pieces I offer are setup for 1.5" alignment bars.
I do have kits available to ship.
I will have COMPLETE kits ready by this Wednesday. The "complete kits" will include (2) SKF 33 spline (additional ball bearing/thicker flange - ZR1 style) Bearing Packs, Complete E-brake setup, OEM Fasteners necessary to mount install hub, e-brake bracket, OEM Caliper, and OEM axle nuts. Pics and pricing will be posted soon.

Thanks, Jay

Jay, just wondering if you have a price for the kits.

Hey Jay
Just wondering also the price as well as can I purchase a "complete" kit without the calipers. Reason being I'm running ZR1 carbon ceramic brakes and already have the calipers

The "complete" kits I will have pictured tomorrow and that I will be offering WILL NOT include any rotors or calipers.

With that said I do believe the actual parking brake backing plate for the ZR1 brakes are different than ALL others for some reason. I recall seeing different part# for the ZR1.... I may need to put a slightly different kit together for you. I will look into this tomorrow and see what I come up with.
Thanks!
