Thanks!

I got the rack from AJE with the extension for the pass side. All the rest of the steering components I made myself.
I havn't seen Brian's rack Kit but I am sure it is Top Notch!

Some of yall may not have seen the Chromoly Spindles.
They are a 2" drop spindle that uses a 3rd gen brake kit

Here are some pics.

Looks good. Nice work. One word of advice is on your limiters put 2 more cable clamps on them. They will slip thru the single one you have.

Thanks Brian. I did not like those clamps. That sounds like a good Idea!

Are those spindles available without the 2 inch drop? Think that they could take light street use ( less then 2000 miles a year )?

I do like that they use a 3rd gen brake kit... that drops a huge chunk of the cost of the drag brakes... as they are alot cheaper tehn teh 4th gen setups.
