Maverick Grabber project in the UK

Exhaust set up

 

Front brakes fitted from a Jaguar XJS with vented disc's

 

Looks like a beautiful day for a maiden voyage.......

 

We dont get a lot of snow here in the UK but we have had a few inches over the last week. Was a fun test drive

 

Did you have to pass anyone on a single track road? Lol.....

 

No not yet but as you know we have lots of those

 

Looking good.
Would love to hear about the conversion of the Jag brakes.

 

Its very easy, xjs discs are Chevy stud pattern but with carefull modification on the lathe the stud holes can be changed to Ford, 67 Mustang front hubs fit directly over the top of the discs and longer stud pressed in from the rear of the disc hold it all together. Depending on your wheel size depends on how much you have to machine of the outer edge of the disc.

Maverick drum spindles with Maverick bearings pushed in to the Mustang hubs bring the disc a nice distance from the spindle. Home made caliper bracket bolts directly on to the drums old mounting using two bolts.

Job done! Huge 4 pot calipers

If anyone wants to do it I can always give dimesions and possibly part numbers.

5 weeks till the first race

 

Looks Great... I think it's going to be a big hit at the races.

 

Thanks Ken lets hope so

 

Looks fantastic, when will you take it on the "maiden voyage"?

 

Its first real outing is at a race track called Oulton Park, This is the first race of the season but I will have tested it hard before that but I have not decided where.

I should be running a camera setup on the first race and will upload via you tube for all to see.
