Hey Stielow, nice work. Would you be able to use the bearing set up without the parking brake once its for sale? I'm going to run a hydraulic parking brake so that's why I'm asking. Also would we be able to order the parts to adapt to our existing Ford 9" ( custom axle lengths of coarse)rear ends or have to purchase an entirely new set up. Once again top notch R&D

You can run it without the drum in hat C-6 Corvette park break. If you are swapping from a normal big bearing style set up to this the old ends can be cut off and these welded on.

Mark,

Thank you for sharing all you do.

Okay I am torn thinking about selling both of my cars to either buy the new Z28 or give Gordon all of cash for his car.

It has the full DSE Chassis, A Thomson 700 HP 442 LS, D&D Perf 6 Speed. etc. All the good stuff. It also has some "Stielow" tweaks on it. Gordan and I have been good freinds for a long time. This car will be awsome when it is done later this summer. And yes he is leaving the paint.

Killer Mark. I really like your design, and thanks for clarifying the hubs set-up

Forgive my ignorance, but is this a full floater rear and floating caliper?

It is a floater with a fixed 4 piston rear caliper.

Mark, thanks for the pics of the rear hub setup. Have you put enough miles on one yet to see a bearing loosen up or is that a non issue?

We run a very similar SKF bearing on the CTS-V, ZL-1 and Z/28 and we have had very few issues with them. It was one of the parts on the Z/28 that needed no upgrades during development. One set lasted the 24 endurance run on the Z/28 and were still tight and we are still running them. The 24 hour test is a accumulated 24 hour run where we just swap brake pads and tires and run the car flat out on track for tank fills of fuel.

On Red Devil, Mayhem and Chris Smiths truck they all still have almost no backlash. They also require zero maintenance.

Over all it is one of the best parts I have ever designed.

Mark
