Received my kit a few weeks ago; this thing is really well done. Now all that's left to do is amass all of the needed lines and fittings and such; and wheels to fit it all. Gonna be running this with a PBM hydro e-brake and a remote reservoir

If you guys don't want to try to piece the parts together enjuku racing sells the complete setup so you don't have to try to track everything down. Quote:

My BigCountryLabs brother, Stewart Leask runs these on his chariot! He is using the setup with DW knuckles.

Did anyone who installed these brackets have an issue with the rear wheels locking up when torquing down the huge axle nut on each side. It looks like the 8mm spacer now made the axle 8mm shorter and now i cant torque down the nut. Im using Z32 uprights. Heres a pic of the difference.

This is only an issue with Z32 uprights. The aluminum is thicker casting so you have to grind down a bit to get it to work.
Nick was able to get his fixed with some clearancing. THIS IS NOT NEEDED ON S-CHASSIS STEEL UPRIGHTS.

I had an issue with getting the lower caliper bolt in for the caliper towards the back of the car i ended up having to use a stud. Also the top of the caliper is hitting the knuckle looks like im going to have to shave off a bit of the caliper i didnt notice this until i finished tightening it all up i hope i didnt bend the plate.
I also hope when i put the plates on a while back that i never put them on the wrong side? Or is that impossible? |

also i had the same issue as the user above where the hub bolts hit the axle so i had to get them all turned exactly so the axle just barley misses it barely |

was there a left and right for the mounting plates? that must be what happened? otherwise how could the caliper and the bottom bolt not fit. anyways im going to shave the caliper enough to fit. and continue using the stud in replacement of the bolt. i just have to see when i go to the shop this week if i bent the plate when tightening that caliper. if so then im fucked |

George:
This might be a dumb question, but why can't you make an offset bracket to add a second caliper and still run the factory rotors similar to the ones you were working on for Z33's?? Is the clearance just too tight? |

Correct. The rear upright is really busy and the casting makes it crazy hard to do it. The Z33 upright is laid out where there is enough room to make the bracket retain the OE stuff.

If you made the bracket without the machined pocket, could you still retain the factory brake rotor offset? Or would the added offset of the hub make the assembly approach sketchy levels?

I could look into it.
I like to CNC all my parts and not waterjet them so the cost is typically more on the CNC, but you get the best possible part in the end. I could revisit the design and see if it's possible but it might make the brackets more expensive, like the Z33's are because of the complex design.

For the same design, if you machined them from steel, you could reduce the thickness (eliminating the pocket), and probably reduce cost as well. Just thinking out loud... |
