Nice work! I'm impressed.
Cheers ToranaGuy

{USERNAME} wrote: This is coming together really nicely now. If you were supplied the required uprights and rotors, how much would you charge to do the chopping and machining? Cheers BenJ thats a good question, im not sure yet . I have access to a lathe , but mill on the other hand is a bit touch and go as a mate is doing it so cant always rely on him, but my gf's uncle works at a machine shop so might be able to scab the mill off him when ever i need it, hardest part is packing the uprights on the mill, machining them takes stuff all . it would only cost me time to do the milling, and a grinding/cutting disc, bolts and plate, thats if work dont have any ill have to buy it. i obviously want to make a profit but without the prices being to insulting for you guys i was thinking $400-$500 uprights machined including brackets to suit AU2 caliper and $200 to machine the hubs. i can ring up machine shops and id say there prices may even be double compared to what ive said. let me know whats yous think. i may even have to give the guy a case or something to turn down the rotors, but i myself can may be able to do the milling. everything else can be brought on ebay or auto parts shops which will be up to you cheers

Won't be cheap. I know my kit will be $1200+ depending on which variant is used.... But mine will be ADR approved.

I suppose a standard set of spacers could be used though

making the other bracket tomorrow, will be very similar to the one i just made.
then get new rotors, braided lines,pads,paint uprights, hubs and brackets, new ball joints, longer studs, wheel bearings, seals and thats it, probably get them crack tested aswell after tafe holidays.

Got the other bracket made . Both sides are done and ready to go after a few minor tweaks and painting . Had to file some metal off the caliper anchor plate as it wasn't made square in the corner . This other disc is badly warped , has about 2mm of run out and just skims across the anchor plate
Pics up soon

      almost fit in a 16" ftr. the fins on the caliper were stopping it from fitting, if i had c4 caliper it would of fitted. lucky i have 19"s so not much off a issue, was curious to see it it cleared    now just need to touch up both brackets with a file, get new seals for calipers, new ball joints, braided lines, rotors, pads, paint it all then its done

in regards to maching costs my work charges about 120/h

how much actuall movement is there between the machined down hubs spigot and the au rotor centre??
in the pics it looks like there is a gap, i would be concerned about the rotor moving up and down from not being centered on the hub spigot... |
