Alan,
Contact Roy Smart, he advertises on here, go to the advertiser's forum. He made mine for my GTD (which I'm still building). I've attached a pic of mine.

Hi Alan -
The hub mount is part of the Ford bearing carrier, Roy also makes the uprights with a pindrive conversion if required - as below.
mail him on roy.smart@smart-tech-performance.co.uk but give him time to respond as he doesnt check his email every day.... (naughty naughty!)

Alan,
If you join the GT40 Enthusiasts Club in time for Christmas, you'll see how I've put the new Wilwood Rear Caliper on my hubs (with the help of Brian Magee). It uses the standard Granada Cosworth Disc as well, so it helps.
Brett

Check out the Gardner Douglas T70. They have a very nice looking cast alloy upright for front and rear suspensions. | |
