comp1839 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 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.
