Doesn't DSE sell a version too? I remember Tommy had a version right before Steilow released his version. Interesting kit if you want a floater.

I know DSE had one in development. Not sure if they worked with Mark on that but wouldn't be surprised. Looking at Mark's, I really like the improvements he made in the axle end placement.

The one above is derived from Tom's original design, I think. I had heard a couple of different versions of that story. He did not manufacture the housing ends as far as I know.

DSE is in development of one, but they are currently only selling the Baer floater as far as I have been told.

You know I'm a fellow slow burn member.

What is the front suspension going to consist of?

Am I watching "As the world turns"? Or is it a re-run of The Twilight Zone.... Either way If Ron Sutton is involved it will turn out kool... IF (BIG IF) Ron-Somewhere-in-the-world-or-maybe-so-cal... doesn't get involved and derail it.

Now that's some funny sh!t right there!!!

That looks a lot like the setup Speedtech (I think it was them) was putting together a couple of years ago which used the C6 bearing as an alternative to a full-floating brake setup. Can you give any more specifics?

First off, nice stuff Ron!

Second off, sorry in advance for self promotion below but couldn't resist (would almost give you a set if you want to cut off those proprietary units you have now)

Thirdly, I think this car may actually need/justify a set of my fabricated steel C6 Uprights


For what its worth in regards to above responses, I am machining a few sets next week of this type rear setup (C6 Flange end), and could easily machine a few more if anyone is interested....

Ok, back to Ron's build!
