James -- How many flutes on that end mill?

Looks like TWO... but I can't tell. If it's a two it's for ALUMINUM and a 4 flute mill is for steel...

Since I can't tell - I'm not making a "judgement"... and a two will cut the material... so doesn't really make any difference.

Great looking work and a great looking solution!

A few more pictures of your setup with a wheel installed and the tight clearance spots shown would be greatly appreciated.

We'll have some more pictures later this week but in the mean time, Muscle Car John was over at the Pozzi's and snapped some pictures while the new Baer 6R brakes were being installed.
