    So a few guys have shown more interest in my brake stands...

    I am at the moment down to my last pair...

    Also I see someone has posted a wilwood caliper based kit... but at over $1000 I don't see a lot of us mini guys spending the cash for that!!! really nice kit but way expensive...

    So I am thinking I will have another few pairs made... What do you guys think?

    PS... if you PM me let me know or I may not get it for a while... I am going to try to be better at checking my PM's

    Emailing me is the best way to get me...

    We could also design a set of stands for a wilwood caliper. I thought about it when I designed the original swap, but wanted to stay toyota. It wouldn't have even been too much higher in price. The wilwood superlite calipers aren't too expensive.

    No more rotor/hat hardware... ran out of them, that's why I dropped the price $5. that was more or less my cost on the hardware.


    As of right now I have one pair of stands sitting at my house... whoever claims em and actually pays me for them first... gets em....

    email me for paypal payment info.....................

    Last sets run were $80 plus shipping, so about $88.
    I ordered more this time (20)10 pairs, so the price is a little cheaper. I would say about $75 to $80 shipped. I won't know for sure until the order is complete.

    I am not so fortunate to be at home working on my truck right now. I am stuck in the middle of afghanistan working for while. Just wanted to have some parts waiting on me when I got home next year

    can anyone tell me the distance from the center of the axle to the caliper mounting holes on a front spindle?

    If I can get that distance I can rotate the mount slightly gaining mounting point clearance... basically I can improve the design to avoid grinding the caliper mounting tabs for clearance which the current design requires...

    on a side note.... anyone want to buy my truck? It has big brakes already installed...8)

    I would not mess with it. Keep it simple. Some light grinding only takes a few minutes and does not harm anything.

    Lets face it... if I wanted simple I would have stayed with the single piston calipers and bought a set of slotted rotors.... but that wasn't good enough....

    I get called the king of modifications a lot by those who know me, I can't leave well enough alone, which is the reason these stands even exist past LITNEON's prototype....

    At this point I don't see getting the numbers I need anytime soon so the next batch, if there is a next, will probably be the same....


    SO, I got payment for a pair today (thanks Herman!).... and I checked my supply, there are two pairs left! (besides the pair Herman just paid for)first come! first serve! as they may very well be the last pairs ever.... at least from me....
