Uprights

I think I have finally come to a good setup for the uprights.
These Photos aren't the best but will give an idea.

Re: Uprights

What are these from? Or better yet where did you get them?

Re: Uprights

These are uprights I fabricated, they use all O.E.M. parts, and although it is a bit heavy, the caliper has a parking brake feature, but I could use Wilwood or other calipers, just a small change in the mounting tabs. I will take some more photos and forward them. The upright itself weighs in at approx 6 lbs. bare. I will send more photos with mounting details etc.

Re: Uprights

What are they fabricated from?

Cast or billet?

What do they fit?

What bearing packages do they use?

What brake rotors/calipers will fit?
