thanks for the support guys! these projects are very long and drawn out. it helps when others enjoy the stuff i make.

o.k., so,.....i needed a carbon front rotor and a hub before i make the calipers and caliper mounts. i made the rotors from a composite modeling foam like renshape but it's not renshape. it was given to me awhile ago and i can't remember what it is. the front hubs where machined from aluminum.

test fitted the hub and rotor on the strut. it will need a a spacer to hold the correct geometry.

next i test fitted a wheel i made from a previously unfinished project.

Runners look great Dave, Did you turn down round stock then just mill the flat spots? I love seeing your work gives me ideas and shows me ways to do things.
