Why? I drive it like an 80 year old.

If I was going to track it more than once or twice a year at best.....I'd toss a Ford 9" in it........better yet I'd just buy a sorted track car and beat the crap out it!

Intentionally slow paced day today cleaning axle tube ends, mocking up backing plates and hub to axle fitment, and a little head scratching regarding the best brake line routing.

Also had to flip a caliper bracket on the backing plate because they were set up for non-staggered shock car. Thankfully all that required was pressing out the splined threaded inserts in the bracket, reversing, reinstalling, and cutting a new spacer for the e-brake cable bracket.

I also picked up some 5/32" copper ground wire to use mocking up line routing and lengths thanks to a tip I read here.

The rotors index on the 1/2" wheel studs, if you're running smaller studs Wilwood has indexing rings available to locate the rotors on the axles.


A few mock up shots of the new micro drums.

Looking Good Seig! I like your 1 project at a time approach. Other than when building a car from Scratch, this has to be the best way to go. You get to continue driving and having fun while making it better and better! This is a great blueprint! Keep up the good work.

You forgot to mention the car nearly burning to the ground in the highlights reel.

Glad you're still making progress with the car, Sieg.

If you don't want to weld you can use this band clamp. I got mine from CCP.

That's a lowlight ya wingnut!

Along with the time I exceeded the limits of the stock brakes coming up to a T intersection off a freeway ramp shortly after I installed the T56, two awesome corners that I've been through hundreds of times leading up to the T........then I realized how much more speed I carried of the last apex..........120 yds to the T........cars lined everywhere in the intersection except in the right turn lane and the light had just change green........I had an angel on my shoulder during this event......the fronts weren't locking nor stopping thanks to the new 200TW tires and I was modulating the rears in and out of lock up and scrubbed just enough speed to pitch it into the 90* turn and throttle out without hitting any of the row of cars to my left.......it was literally inches from clipping someone with the rear quarter.

My other option was going square into a K wall at 30+ mph.

I went straight home and called Tobin at Kore3 discussed the situation and ordered front brakes.

I thought about a clamp but it's too easy to fab a bracket and plug weld it on the tube.

Knuckle Dragger!


I'm also toying with the idea of eliminating the lines on the rear axle altogether and running hard line out to the inner frame rails and dropping flex lines down to the calipers.







The tube mounted brackets would be too easy though..........
