BBK done

Local machine shop is the best source - in my case, I had them made by my machine shop at work. They're pretty easy to turn on a lathe - they shouldn't cost more than $50-75 bucks. 4130 is probably one of the better material choices.

While there are people who have drilled the rear tabs with success, you are asking for problems drilling into a casting, especially when you leave less material and increase the braking force on the tabs.

Which casting Adam?

 

[adampecush]

the rear axle carrier, which contains the brake tabs.

When I disassembled and sandblasted mine, it certainly didn't look like a forging.

there didn't seem to be alot of meat on my hub carrier's.i would have been a little worried about drilling them

I was 99% sure they were forged but I'll have a close look at one of my spares when I get a chance to confirm.

I agree though the offset mounts are the way to go.

looking closely at these pics, you can see markings consistent with the position of risers/feeders (on the strut mount and the #1 rear arm attachment boss)...thats what I based my assumption on.

Shreveport...

I know a guy from Shreveport....haven't talked to him in YEARS though, went to Boot Camp and A-School with him.

Adam: I usually go by how wide the part lines are, narrow is usually cast wide is forged.
