BP, Mike,
...discussed the setup and implications of this type of fixture arrangement with a few colleague engineers. The CNC man believes a more secure mounting fixture would be required on the top of the Jag hub; concluding the hub/case material surface area and thickness on top, with such a small mounting bracket, might just shear the top of the hub/case right off (if bolted on)unless it was welded and re-enforced. Soft Aluminum too.

So, I'm working with the CNC/Machinist to see what other fixtures could "reasonably" be made to wrap around the hub-case a bit more using the main body of the hub for added mass and strength. I'm not sure if you buy in to this or not, but I'm going with their recommendations and will keep drilling down more.


Mike
No this would be an extra shock. One for each side. It goes from the back of your frame to the top of your outer hub case with some brackets that would be made. You would keep your spax; no change there. I'm plugging away on it time permitting after work and weekends. I meet with the machist again this weekend. More information as I get it.

I may be going a little slower on this than others need, so please don't wait for me. If we can come up with something thats worth testing, I'll be a first guinea pig to help prototype it. I'm trying to see how the pieces can be made affordably, but there will be some extra labor on the hub/case fixture that I did not anticipate. We'll see...
