I was looking at the picture from my phone, so I'm not too sure how it's made. The incredibly rough surface finish and flashing along the edges made me think it's a casting. I don't have a high res picture, or the part in my hand soooo. As far as me making more parts. I don't have access to the same CNC mills (that had the NC file and the fixture offsets stored), and my hard drive ate the CAD files when it decided to die. I should have new models done here in a week or so. I also have a CNC shop that's should be able to produce them for a very reasonable price. Soooo... If anyone wants some adapters plates, holla at yo boi. |

Those stubs look like an OE fitment from something or other, or else why would they bother to make an ABS sensor hole?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the big advantage of these was that they DON'T bend, the big nut tightens down against the inner bearing races, putting the spindle in a tension load instead of a bending one, and it's all one big solid assembly effectively the OD of the inner races.

Yeah that's the big idea. I got the idea of something after so many of the droves of Golves guys all said a) finding the disc brake things was a pain in the ass and that pain was made worse because of how frequently the weenie little 29mm inner and 17,5mm outer stubbie thing bent. By the way, here's a thing that looks an arf-ful lot like the thing above:
Somehow I don't think that these things branded Dansk är verkligen dansk. Hur some helst, for $17 its worth it to grab some to work out some nice simple template so guys can fab their own adapters..

Link? I'll order up one.
So the thought I'm having is you still need a mount for the brake caliper so it might be as simple as to shave off the existing microstub and bolt these right to it using some longer bolts and possibly dowel them together.

It looks like that one is just a regular Mk4 stub, and possibly the one I posted as well, looks like at a minimum it would require cutting off the microstub and drilling some holes.....but I think Culbertson has been down that road already. Power means nothing if you cannot control it! |

Excellent! I remember in 2002 when I got mine and John was helping me to set up the ride height over the phone. He said, once you get it at the right height (in my case with about 40% droop travel), put some gravel tires on the car and air them up to about 32 PSI. Then find the nearest concrete curb that I can hit at 50-60mph: Hit it and report back. With regular lubrication and cleaning, they should last for a long time. Mine have at least 50,000 miles on them and 40+ events with no issues. and they are the 41mm version with like 175mm stroke. ____________________________________________________________- One.

Wow that's a ton of use and abuse! Roughly how often do you grease them? I'll wait it lit warms up from -20°C before I try the kirb, closest one of those is 40min away lol. Finishing up the house and a few other things then hopefully get this thing stripped, stitched and caged. Power means nothing if you cannot control it! |

I regrease them after every stage rally event or after 6 months of street use.

Yay, finally put a wrench to the car. Got everything electrical and all the plumbing disconnected to pull the old diesel out. Pulled the rad/support out as well. Gotta love when there's no rust.
Too nice a day to not dig it out of the snow and play around. Garage is being delivered in April/May so then I can really get moving on it. Power means nothing if you cannot control it! |
