LS1 mounting brackets

Also, has anyone ground their hubs ro 6" themselves or is everyone sending it out to a lathe. I don't have a lathe and don't know where to have it done.

I leave the hub on the spindle, and put the spindle in the vice. Then I grind the outside of the hub while positioning the grinder to slowly turn the hub, thus turning the hub down in a uniform manner. I just use an angle grinder. Works just as well as a lathe IMO.

Thats what I did. I used a grinder.

i used a brake lathe with the cutting arm flipped over. worked like a champ. bout an hour and both fit inside the c4 rotor. i over cut just a little to compensate for powdercoating. i also used delco durastop rotors to get affordable crossdrilled rotors. all my stuff came from speed tech. larry's a great guy to deal with.

If you have access to a lathe, it makes for a much nicer job. I know some people don't have that luxury. A lathe will make for a much closer tolerance for your rotors over the hubs. As for the spindles, I used a small vertical mill and machined the top boss of the spindle .113-.118", I can't remember the exact number. I'm assuming you're converting from drums, right? Check your 3/32" dimension, it sounds a little short to me.

I had it done by a local machine shop.

He only charged me $25.00 to do both.
