Building brake kits since 2004, mostly for the 1982-92 F bodies, I have ran across probably hundreds of rotors that were to be hubs but just did not make the cut.  Yes, defecting rotor candidates seemed like a daily ritual.   Now and again I would stumble onto a good pallet of perfectly machined problem free rotors, rare but nice when it happens.  As you can imagine I stand in front of the lathe quite a bit.   Many times because the process became so mechanical and robotic I found my self thinking of why do I not have my own hubs?  it would end the time I stand here and I could put out a product with all the attributes that would compliment the kits I produce.   Opportunity presents itself rarely,  when it does however you need to take advantage of it.   Luckily I happened to run across an engineer looking to make some parts with his new CNC machine,  saving grace is he can design as well!   SO begins the journey. Many nights and several scrapped parts started to reveal how steep of a learning curve this was going to be.  Tooling the machine, finding the […]
