Missing the centering ring underneath the nut, should end up looking something like this when it's all stacked on there.

Large nuts or small hands? You be the judge.

Started on the front uprights:

Should look something like this when they're done:

CTS-V/C5 Corvette hubs bolt in to the center hole. Camber adjustment is done by swapping the rectangular shims up top.

Can't wait to see the uprights welded up and installed!

Thanks! The install is right around the corner. We just need to finish fabricating... everything. :lol:

unless you hard anodize the centerbolt adapters and nuts i would be worried about gouging... the thread should in to teh best of my knowledge be made in steel so the aluminum dont fuse then you try and loosen/tighten it..

I have an alfa corse spindle from a 93 DTM alfa and its made in thinwalled steel for teh same reason i suspect...

Not to worry. The adapters and nuts will be Type III anodized and the machining clearances reflect that.

You guys definitely know how to design/machine some sweet parts. Its going to be heck of a Volvo. :thumbsup:

Thanks!

All four adapters are finished. Alex really did a great job on them.

Amazing. Those look great! Looks like tigging in those cross peices on the uprights is gonna suck haha. :thumbsup:

This fabrication work is awesome, good job on not only the research & modeling, but carrying through with it too.

And hip hip hooray for Solidworks, anything you can dream up can be a reality when solid modeling!!
