ERA 3027 build

My car is getting close and I don’t want to settle.

If a new casting supplier isn’t online, why not machine from billet? The carriers look pretty straight forward. If you do a batch on CNC it shouldn’t be crazy higher than cast.

I guess I will discuss with Peter.

I honestly didnt want to pressure Peter on the issue. If Peter has the engineering drawings of the hubs i am sure it could be loaded into CAD and cnc'd out of billet aluminum.
I am excited to get the car and will upgrade when the ERA rear is available.

Swapping out the Jag rear for an ERA rear is a pretty sizable PITA. The odds are you'll never do it. Pressure Peter now for the drawings and get it CNC'd, otherwise you're likely to live with the Jag rear forever.

Patrick,

I did the swap on 755. Mechanically pretty straight forward, but it was pricey.

I plan to discuss with Peter.

I can't think of a reason Peter wouldn't want to get a couple of dozen made.

John, sounds like there are three of us already. I originally ordered the ERA rear and would still prefer to get it. Even if it means slightly higher cost for billet hub carriers
