    Aerospace components offers an aluminum hub for the Maverick/Comet spindle and they also offer a cross drilled rotor and aluminum, 4 piston caliper.....Mark Williams also offers a lightweight front disc brake setup but it costs almost twice as much as the aerospace kit......hope this helps....

    Jeez! Ivy,

    If you lose any MORE weight off that Maverick, you're gonna have to soak it in water before weigh-in! :eek: :)


    Aren't you already down to around 2400 lb's????


    If I can get my 347 c.i. to keep you in eye-sight, I'll be lucky! :confused: :(
