Kirkham Hubs on a Factory Five? Backdraft? etc.

[Cobra4Me]

it depends on the FFR builder, remember FFRs get built mostly by your regular person in their own garage.
so he/she can either choose to use 4 lug spindles form Fox Mustangs or 5 lugs setups from newer Mustangs,
I have done both.
Nowadays most people are doing the 5 lug setups, better geometry and more wheel choices.

Sergio,

Does the newer stuff use a front spindle? It looks like it must. It looks like the hub assembly we got from the parts house slides over an existing spindle.

Our cars, for example, do not use a front spindle as such. Our hub and spindle are one piece.

David, how about a light and reasonable priced setup like you're discussing for the Jaguar front and rear setup as well? There's tons of Jag based cars out here with few options.

David,

Why don't you make a replacement hub for the Wilwoods that would incorporate the knock on hub and pins. That way MANY of us could use the adaptor. With my Wilwood front brakes increasing my offset by 5/8" and then the traditional pin adaptor another 1/2" or so it causes my front wheels to stick out further than I find acceptable.

And if you get it machined in time you can bring it with you to Run and Gun in a few weeks???
