I suppose I could snap off a couple pics tomorrow, haven't really worked on it much, been busy with other stuff. Price will be around a grand which will include a rotor, caliper, all bearings and both 930 flanges. I'd prob. jump back on it and get it finished if I got an order for one, I already have a about 3k wrapped up in the design so far and have spent a small fortune on other stuff i'm prototyping like the smart car busa conversion kit...........

ok, here are some pics, for basically $999, you'll get the carrier, flanges, bearings, seals, rotor, one caliper (although it is designed for 2 if an extra one is wanted), sprocket and mounting plates which will have 2 tubes welded in place and notched to weld to your chassis. There is a 6" distance from flange to flange, so it is very narrow...

You loosen the 3 bolts on the bottom, and adjust the top of the carrier with a left and right hand heim which will actually connect to the upper rear motor mount

is there any way to put a flywheel for reverse in there?

if you went with outboard brakes, you could mount a flywheel where the rotor goes, and mount the starter where the calipers are....

thats a nice set up got to get some dough together and then see what I will have to change on my rear end but i just might make it work

I had 5 stubs machined and heat treated for the first batch. It will come with the 2 tubes welded and notched as you see in the pic, so you just weld your tubing to them and it good to go. There will also be some additional gusseting that is not pictured, i'm waiting on those parts from the plasma cutter. My old carrier was $999 without the caliper and rotor, so this one is actually cheaper and narrower, plus my old carrier was setup for u-joint axles and this will allow for the 930's. This will be a very nice unit when done, plus no roller tensioner....

Ya, I sell them for $1199, but they are $999 for MBN members and I will build them to fit your application. They have about 3" plunge...

those are just what I need but a bit more than I thought they would be. Im sure there worth how much if they didnt have to be telescoping? sorry to be so questionitive Im jsut getting to the point Im starting to find all my weak links.

I could do the plunging set $799 if you buy them with the center carrier. What I've done in the past is to have the customers pay for the center carrier up front, and make a $50 deposit for the axles, then they call me after the carrier is installed with the flange to flange measurements to build their axles. I've got people that ordered a carrier a year ago that still aren't ready for the axles yet......
