Chassis / Re: EC front axle question
« on: October 16, 2012, 01:44:36 pm »Alot of guys buy the EC plates and build their own axles so it is hard to say what you have in all honesty. I use their end plates but the rest is all my own, personally. Im not trying to cut down or ridicule anybody, but if you havent been around much of this and don not have a good understanding of what a front axle does, you may be setting yourself up for failure. This is where the off the shelf axles like EC's are worth every bit they cost. Their is waaaaaaaaay more to these than most realize. Often times if your adding front brakes, depending on their size can dictate what you will end up. I have found that big brakes make it extremely hard to get it all right, or at least as close as you can.
I do understand what the front axle does was only curious about the plates because I have seen other setups (ryker racing) that does not use these plates. I am a welder fabricator so I have no problems with the build portion of this and have read plenty on info on here to know the proper * to build them on. I will not be running front brakes so that won't be an issue. One of the main goals in this build is to do as much as we can without subbing out to other people or machine shops. I will be the first person to purchase something if we don't have the ability to do it right the first time.
