Mike;Who made your aluminum tilt trailer and how do you like it?Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ
I think the Crosley won the 1951 Indianapolis demolition derby.
Thanks, Mike. I've been considering buying an aluminum tilt trailer so your opinion of your trailer helps me quite a bit. Do you know your trailer model number?Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ
All of the mile/mile and a half events now require front brakes. I did not want to bolt on some metric GM calipers and rotors that would be hanging out in the wind, the car already has poor aero and I did not want to make it worse. I decided to fabricate some disc brakes that will fit inside the rims of the front tires. I had already machined the vented rotors off of the hubs I am using. I really like how the Wilwood rotors on the rear are driven by castellated dogs and held in place with a large snap ring. I decided that I could do a similar design for the front keeping it compact. I machined drive slots in my hubs. There were diagonal gussets cast into the hub. I machined the gussets down to the same depth as the slots (for 1/4" thick rotors). They were drilled and tapped 1/4-20 for bolts to secure the rotors to the hubs.

I was told when I went through tech in 2016 that because the rule books came out late for 2016 they were not going to enforce the rule until 2017. Mike Brown Mike where did you get your information from that all of the mile/ mile and a half events now require front brakes? ECTA had considered that chage for 2017 but decided to not go forward with it that was decided before not having a location to run on this year. Your saying its changed?
