I was able to get wheels from G-CAT Racing in the UK. Received them a few months ago but just got back home for the holidays to try them on. They are 3-piece wheels with Brabham style centers. When I...
I just ran across an add on the racecarsdirect.com website. It seems a person named Greg Caton has purchased MB-Racing wheels. The add said: call Greg Caton now to discuss your requirements on +44...
I also had been in contact Mike Barnby and sent in sketches for Brabham BT21C wheels. He had the material on hand and I was trying to order a set when the website went down. Just recently talked to...
Did you ever find out what you have? Any photos?
I ended up purchasing a pair of AR2 calipers with 2.0" pistons on the front and will use the D12R calipers that came with the spares. I also purchased a Girling .75" master cylinder for the front and...
From my minimal experience, this type of treated surfaces of magnesium are a chemical conversion and very thin unlike paint. Scratches and abrasions from normal use will show a white powdery...
I agree that they look recently treated with chromate or similar treatment. I recently had some wheels treated with DOW #7 and they look very similar. The treatment is very thin so spray painting...
I can't believe there is snow in my forecast! Garage is COLD but I'm still moving forward on my BT21C restoration. I've found two sources for the front hubs and rotor replacements so the brakes are...
Thanks Ethan for the comeback. I have a pair of what I believe are D12R calipers I assume will go on the rear. I also have a pair of AP-Lockheed CP2094 calipers with the same size pistons but the...
Hello David,
You're up very early this morning. Once I resolve the front suspension questions and get the material in hand I'll assemble one corner to prove it out and then proceed to get down to...
Thanks Mikey,
That photo is a good start for what I am looking for. I see they are using a rod end at the end of the steering arm instead of a normal tie rod end. That should help with bump steer...
I am trying to locate parts to restore my BT21C to FB specs. The previous owner had converted the car to FF specs. The rear suspension seems good but the front has been significantly changed. The...
To Robert and Keith,
I'll keep both of you in mind when I start buying parts. It'll be a few months because I will soon be heading to Florida to commission a Liquid O2 plant for SpaceX. They keep...
Thanks Bob,
My guess is I will try Roebling Roads first because my neighbor in Titusville, FL races Porches and they often rent the track for club events. It'll be a good place to get some of the...
Thanks Scotty82,
I'll start putting a parts list together with your recommendations. This car hasn't seen a race track for at least 40 years so I have a lot of work to do. I wish the car still had...
I have Brabham BT21C with a Hewland 4-speed MK 8 gearbox with a Torsen Diff and 9:31 CWP. It was used for SOLO II competition so it is geared very low. I have a Brian Hart twincam that will be going...
