g-machine prototype mustang spindles

[louie@g-machine]

all billet 6061 construction, with steel pin inserts, face plate, and snout. They feature a 1.75" drop and revised geometry, and significantly better bump steer characteristics, scrub radius...
We are going to take them out for testing soon, and then FEA, then to market.

Maybe a little more info like what Mustang they fit? Mustang 2??? Big market there.

[louie@g-machine]

thay are designed for the 65/66 crowd because they have nothing. It was time...

Keep us posted.

'65 or '66 Fastback is definitely on my list of cars to build - some day, but wouldn't this spindle then also fit alot of other ford models. I know that many early Fords can be swapped out for Granada spindles, would that be the case with these also. I'm thinking of Falcons, Fairlaines, Comets, etc.

Are these a taller spindle? Would they still require the Shelby mod? What brake kits would they accept - the normal kits for these cars?



Can't wait to see a finished product.

I have a 67 and I used the Granada spindles. I would love to have had something like this available for me when I put mine together.

[LMDGUY]

NICE...Im sure i will end up with another 66 mustang sooner or later.

[High Plains Mopars]

Interesting.

Ever thought about doing a Mopar unit? Only thing out there for us is Fatman and their mopar units are probably fine for the cruiser set, but don't look like they would hold up to serious driving.

[louie@g-machine]

I personally have never set hand on a mopar, but if you have a donor car I would be willing to prototype on it...

technically they should fit many other ford models, but I am not simply going to market them as so. I need some physical proof, and the fact that the control arm lengths are different leads me to believe that the geometry would not work out. These spindles were designed for all 65/66 brake kits and the shelby drop.

The cost was far greater then we wanted to sink into at the time, which would have made the retail priced through the roof relative to the market. Maybe in the future, but for now we are focused on GMR9 rear end setups and packages.
