The Front Spindles were designed in Pro/Engineer to work with 11.5" Willwood Brakes and late model Camaro spindles. They have an adjustable steering point to adjust not only Akerman but bump steer. They are constructed out of 1/8" Mild Steel Sheet and TIG welded for strength. A Weldnment jig was the made to ensure that the two spindles would not warp while being welded. As seen in the picture below, the jig is in the far right corner and all the parts and pieces in the background. Once welded the spindles were tested for strength. Here you can see the test fixture, the two dial indicators that measured the displacement, and the hydraulic ram that will apply a load 5 times greater

than the corner weight of the vehicle. In this case a load of 4200 lbs. was applied without failure.  The spindle was loaded roughly at the center of the load path of the tire to simulate the actual loading the tire and wheel. The deformation encountered was completely elastic and still fit in the original weldment jig after the test.

Flaming River will be controling the front wheels with a custom rack and pinion. They also supplied the new steering column and billet steering wheel.

The rear suspension is custom four link design. Custom brackets were fabricated for the rear differential for the control links and the panhard rod. All the links are made from steel tube and have spherical rod ends holding them in place.
