    I have Tatum spindles, hubs and rotors on the front of one car, Gear One on the back. The other car has home made spindles using a weld in combo axle and Tatum hubs and rotors front and back. Good stuff from each.

    I bought my tatum stuff from Oregon Motor Sports. He has a web site where you can buy the parts too and there is no sales tax. Oregon Motorsports 2000 Inc. Home Page

    Gear One stuff from Gear One - Serious Racing Products

    Before buying anything be sure you have a good design and plan. Do you?

    I bought a plan from desert karts... it's on it's way...I'm not sure how good it is. I was going to buy another plan too, just to have some to compare.

    You could buy a plan from Rorty and if you decided to build one of his rigs you can get parts from Kludge, a member here. Rorty's 2 seat cars are very wide so you would need to modify it. You might look at his single seater and make it a two seater.
    Rorty may be able to help with design changes to fit your application. Take a look at his web site and drop him a line to see what is possible.

    PLK - YES! I bought an R82 from Dune. I needed a car that I can drive while I make the first one work!

    Nice! Haven't seen dune around for a long time. Did he lose interest?

    BTW, is there an ETA on the parts for your original car?

    You can either search for him, or use the member list link at the top of the page to pm him.

    Send a PM to Kludge and email Rorty through his web site. Then before you buy anything put together a complete plan and parts list so you can price the build - then add another 25% for what you don't know.

    PLK - no ETA on TW. My focus now is building my shop so I have a better work environment. I'll work on the car again early next year.
