Title: american racing 12 spoke spindle mounts Post by: simon uk on November 28, 2006, 13:59:15 pm Hi people, both this months volksworld and ultra vw feature old school rods with these wheels mounted. I personally think they look awesome - I think they are the ones on the front of lil snort - the reason I am posting is that on both of these rods, they are both hooked up to disc brakes, but I cant see how you could do it. Does anyone know how these mount - I always thought they were just spindle mounted and you couldnt run them with brakes. What do you think about a pair of these on the front and 5 spoke split rims on the back on a daily driver - would they be a proper old school combination, or is more for race only drag cars and rods?
I am sure I have seen replicas with usual lug holes, but a replica just wouldnt cut it! Si. Title: Re: american racing 12 spoke spindle mounts Post by: Bryan67 on November 28, 2006, 14:36:01 pm Radir here in the US makes them with disc brake hookups.

You bolt a MC brake directly to the rim... :-[ I just sold my american racing spindlemounts... Title: Re: american racing 12 spoke spindle mounts Post by: simon uk on November 28, 2006, 15:04:12 pm thanks for the replies guys, does this mean that
1) Randar (Radir?) sell kits to mount the original spindle mounts, or the replicas with conventional bolt pattern. 2) I take it the original kits are impossible to get hold of, maybe someone like Taylors in the uk could make something. What in your opinion would a pair cost these days? I seem to recall seeing some about 6 months ago on ebay for around $350. Finally, excuse my ignorance, but whats an MC brake?

The old magnesium ones turn up at ebay from time to time... Title: Re: american racing 12 spoke spindle mounts Post by: simon uk on November 28, 2006, 17:39:12 pm the penny drops re MC, I was thinking Master Cylinder something or other!
Does any one have a view on the likely cost of a pair?
