Tito Jones... Mustang II spindles?

[alcino]

I was wondering if you were still developing these? There was mention a few months back in a thread. Can you update us? If so, are you planning to make them taller, dropped, and or made out of aluminum?

I really need to get some drop spindles. I'm willing to wait if there is hope that you are making a superior product than what is available.(stock with 2" drop, or chassis works 2" drop).



I know your probably busy, so thank you for any info

The plan is to adapt our current forging to be able to be used in place of a factory MII spindle. We are almost done with the G/A and 2nd Gen F body cars, so after those are done, the work will start on the mustang 2 stuff.

It will be a 1" drop, very close to the overall height of the original. Bolt pattern may be an issue, so swapping to a 5 on 4-3/4" may be required.

What material? Are you going to stick with the OE material, or what the aftermarket uses now?

If I'm not mistaken, they're using cold forged 6061-T6.

So can I assume other than the 1" drop, there will be no adjustments to factory geometry? I was hoping for a taller spindle height to help roll center migration.

I do like that its made of aluminum and the replaceable c5 hub is also cool(my wheels just happen to be 4.75" pattern), but my upgraded wilwood brake kit looks like it can't be transferred. So sad.

Also is the 2.9lbs without the c5 hub?
