My brother just got married on the Madonna Mountain this saturday and the reception was at the ranch. It was awesome. Such a change of pace up there (Los Osos) compared to SD.

Did you have to bore the center? I machined all four to fit over my D60 hubs without trying them on the 44 hubs.Rmc wrote:Yup, correct philo, same diameter and thickness as wilwood but 1/16th the cost.

That's my goal Andy, to make break inspections and replacement ect easier. I can duplicate factory style ( press together) but I don't really see an advantage.

Which can be corrected with more backspacing on the wheels.

Re: Random updates... what are you working on?
It's a 1/4" at most, castor curve in long travel is harder on steering than 1/4" of lost scrub. Correct me if I'm wrong but scrub advantage is lost in the extreme camber changes anyway right?

Re: Random updates... what are you working on?
No, it always makes a difference. The tie rods see really high loads while turning. The vehicle leans but the tires stay fairly flat due to the caber curve of the beam.Rmc wrote:It's a 1/4" at most, castor curve in long travel is harder on steering than 1/4" of lost scrub.
