They are yet more parts being "borrowed" from me.. lol

They are Chris Alston Chassisworks "Gemini bars" from my track rat project..

I guess the whole "you give a mouse a cookie" deal is factual

Hey guys, like Steve said, those bars are from Chassisworks. I think you'll have to call them though. I didn't have any success finding them online either. I'll get you the part numbers tonight.

Steve, what can I say, you left town with the cookie jar open...

Cris G, as far as the caliper, and the floater, it looks like we're going to have to have a bracket made and weld that up.

Matt, I like the second set of wheels better...course they are Rupp's new wheels.

Incidentally, those welds on the rear housing are incredible whoever did that work.

Matt- You should have let me know sooner about this rear end project..

The caliper brackets should be welded by Speedway so that they have it in their jig to keep tubes straight.. No matter what bracket you come up with.. I would recomend they weld it up.. Are you running a parking brake? What caliper are you using? rotor diameter?

Speedway has a weld on caliper bracket for 12.19 rotor for a Superlite.. If you need to bigger on rotor diameter you are going to have to sketch one up.. I have the bracket for the parking brake assembly that will go from 12.19 to 14.25 rotor diameter.. I would have machined an extra set up for you!!

Get ready to do some more running around this coming week!

I just remembered another thing... Assemble your hub & fit it on the wheel.. You want to make sure that it will fit over the center bore hole on the wheel.. I am going to have Frank machine the drive flange to fit snug to bore hole on the wheel so that it keeps the wheel running concentric & you dont rely on the wheel studs to keep the wheel centered to the hub..

Hey Matt - Love the changes under the hood - masters look killer, shock resevoirs (sp?) mounted to the down bars (nice!)! and did I notice new brakes too? Haha, course you did!

Did you go w the Chro-mo down bars? The floater welds look killer. It's also nice having Chris watch out for us, huh? Thanks for paving the way you guys...
