71 Javelin Road Racer Build

[Bulletpruf]

Still making steady progress. Rear suspension is close to being complete. Details and pics follow.

Speedway Engineering Full Floater Rear - 1* negative camber, 0* pinion angle, 31 spline axles, 1" narrower than stock, spring pads in stock location.


And a shot of it sitting on the springs. Car is very clean and rust free; beats the he11 out of working on a rustbucket.


Bought some leaf spring/shock mount brackets from Mancini Racing (Mopar stuff) and some from Summit Racing (Allstar brand); will use whichever ones look better to secure the rear to the Flex Form composite springs. Stock stuff won't work b/c the 9" has 3" tubes and the AMC 20 had 2.5" tubes.


9" center section from Randy's Ring and Pinion - TrueTrac diff, 3.50 gear, aluminum Daytona pinion support, Yukon case.




Assembled the hub and rotor and associated hardware this past weekend. Sorry, no safety wire, but I did use AN bolts and jet nuts (like a nylock, but all metal b/c of the heat) with a fair amount of red Loctite. Using Wilwood rotors, 11.75" x .810" and Wilwood FSL calipers, 1 3/8" pistons. Hubs are aluminum Speedway Mod Light, 5 on 4.5".
