AFX Spindles and ZR1 Brakes

[mfain]

Has anyone looked at putting the ZR1 carbon-ceramic brakes on AFX spindles? With SKF hubs?

Keep in mind the ZO6 Hubs DO NOT fit the AFX spindle. the casting is slightly larger on the ZO6 and there fore the lower stud nut will not fit, keep in mind that there have been 0 failures of the standard Corvette hubs. in theroy the ZO6 brakes will bolt rigth on but we have not tried it.

I think Blake meant to say ZR1 on both items, and everything he said is correct.

Yep Sorry ZR1

also just to add to this. we are going to investigate another option to see if we can make these fit.

i will post an update as soon as we find out.

Blake,

Per our discussion, I think your approach will work. PM me. I am willing to pay you for a set of bearings and the R&D, if you think there is a high probability of success. I can send you my spindles to make the lower stud modification if you need. Or, I can do the work here and let you know how it comes out.

For Sure we will do that give me a call tomorrow and we will figure out the best way to get you fixed up.

i will check with our hub supplier and see if i can get Factory Z06 hubs as well
