I see in the build section that some have used a custom spindle allowing them to use RX7 5 lug hubs rotors and brakes
does anyone have any info on these spindles ?

Probably not custom spindles, just Cressida rotor and simple adapter from 3 1/2" stock caliper pattern to 6 1/8" RX7 caliper.

Kevin, I had no idea Spitfire had removeable spindles plus I assumed you had a TR6. I was right on the caliper adapter though. You should PM Max for the dimensions. Or sleeve your existing ones.

I guess it would help to say I am building a MK1 spitfire with fuel injected 5.0 and T5
Thank you for your response and I have PMed Max hopefully he will get back to me
if anyone knows how to get ahold of Max Brewster pm me and I will give you my contact info to give him
Thanks

Looks way heavy. RX7 is so large on bearing dia's, I made inner bearing/seal reducer adapters to fit Mustang II spindles/bearings. roverman.
