Title: Where to get brakes for spindle mount wheels? Post by: Prowagen on May 04, 2008, 22:52:44 pm I have some Weld spindle mount wheels that fit onto Stange spindles. But I also want to run brakes up front as its has to be road legal, anyone know where I can get brakes that will work with this wheel setup? I am sure I have seen them somewhere before?
Thanks, Rob. Title: Re: Where to get brakes for spindle mount wheels? Post by: Adele AW on May 05, 2008, 22:19:04 pm JCL Racecars in the states! I looked at these for mine but I opted for bolt on just to be on the safe side for road use. They are about $1000 for the fronts in either spindle mount or bolt pattern like mine.
I presume you will still run either K&L or Balljoint? If you do run the spindle mount fronts they will also need machining to accept VW bearings! Wayne Allman would be who I suggest for this seeing as the wheels are already in the UK! I've got a picture of JCL's front set-up somewhere too..

Yeah going on BJ beam, How do the brakes attach to the wheel? Theres no fixings on the back face of the wheel, do you know? If not I best ring JCL. Cheers, Rob.

Post by: jr59 on May 09, 2008, 12:54:23 pm CMS wheels (those whop make erco wheels) have a billet model front wheel that you can purchase with the disck already bolt on them.
