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.

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..

Cheers steve,

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.

Best bet would be to ring Jimmy or even PM his son Austin on the cal-look.com forum

CMS wheels (those whop make erco wheels) have a billet model front wheel that you can purchase with the disck already bolt on them.
Art Gumpfer is running them on his fast back: http://home.comcast.net/~agumpfer/wsb/html/view.cgi-home.html-.html.
You can mail him he will answer you for sure! ;)
