Re: Pro Touring Camaro of a different ......size?
alright, an early morning update. Here is a picture of the Brake calipers I am modelling along with a picture of where I am at. They are Baer 6S monoblock calipers. 6 pistons of clamping power!!
  The plan is as follows. I'll master one peice. And make 4 copies and then create the rest of the caliper.

Re: Pro Touring Camaro of a different ......size?
alright. Here is the "finished" Caliper. I feel it is a tad small but I am happy with it. I wanted to get some pictures up before I buried it in RTV. Here will be the process. I'll make a mold and cast 6 or 8 of these little buggers. Then I will go in and create the complete calipers with the fittings and pads and what have you. Also on a much more uplifting note!!! I heard from my machinist and found out what is taking so long to get the wheels done. We had a slight mis understanding. When I sent my drawings and my mock up I also sent a picture much similar to this
 And I told him this is the wheel I am trying to replicate. Well, All I was looking for were some sleeves to insert my wheel centers into. He cut the WHOLE wheel. My girlfriend is bringing a pair of them home tonight for me to inspect and make sure that I like. So apparently this thing will be riding of fully CNC Machined aluminum wheels! total greatness!!!! Here is the caliper

Re: Pro Touring Camaro of a different ......size?
Good work on the calipers. Is it just me or is the hole in the center of the wheel off to one side or is it just the pic? Keep the pics coming

Re: Pro Touring Camaro of a different ......size?
it is a tad off center.....I think the space between the spokes is a little off. As this was done on a Lathe and a mill. But at this point. they will work. I don't want to have to wait for another program to be written to cut the wheels.

Re: Pro Touring Camaro of a different ......size?
It is machined a bit smaller than my center, and the aluminum was showing from behind my resin center. I like the machined peices better! lol. check out the wheel help thread in the main forum to see what it looks like with the resin center laid in there

Re: Pro Touring Camaro of a different ......size?
Worked a little bit on this tonight. I've been feeling a little BLAH. I'm hoping to get the rest of my supplies ordered in the next week. Waiting on some dimensions from various sources. I started on a Rack and pinion steering unit, as well as the front crossmember for the engine.
