The final cost has came out at $895 per axle kit.
We have made the individual parts involved in manufacturing to much more precise standards than with previous runs. The raw material for hub rotor flanges was laser cut to rough shape: inner bore was finished to size for a press fit onto the newly machined hub outer surface. Flanges were welded in place, with finish machining, hole placement, threading, etc., done on a CNC mill.
Raw material for the spacer plates, caliper bracket plates, and bracket ears were water jet cut. Spacer and caliper bracket plates were Blanchard ground on both sides to precise finish and thickness tolerances. Finish machining and hole placement is done on a CNC mill. The bracket ears are formed using a 2-step press method using a specialty die that produces the precise ear shape; holes are placed and threaded on a CNC mill. Ears are welded to the disc using a precision built jig for exact ear placement. Everything is designed and built to exacting standards using all USA made material and manufacturing is done right here at home.
The basic conversion kit for 1 axle includes:
2 rebuilt hubs with a welded rotor mounting flange, 16 grade 8 rotor attaching bolts, new high quality inner and outer bearing cups are installed in each hub.
2 rim spacer plates.
1 left side caliper mounting bracket with grade 8 attaching hardware.
1 right side caliper mounting bracket with grade 8 attaching hardware.
1 wood shipping crate.
1 installation instruction manual, this covers all needed info to properly install either front or rear axle kits. There is also a part number list of locally available, high quality, normal wear components in the manual that are required to complete your new system. We can furnish these items at an additional cost, but we suggest you source these parts at a local auto parts supplier. The items (such as rotors) weigh quite heavy, so purchasing locally will save you a significant amount on shipping cost.
*NOTE* please advise whether the kit will be used on a front or rear axle, brackets are the same, however the necessary attaching hardware components differ from front or rear. This helps us to insure we are furnishing the correct attachment hardware in your kit.
Shipping is additional cost and will of course vary depending on your location. If you are ordering a kit for only 1 axle, Fed-Ex Ground or Home Delivery is likely the better option. If you are ordering 2 kits for a 4-wheel installation, the weight exceeds Fed-Ex limitations and is usually best shipped via LTL truck freight. This is typically lower cost than shipping 2 crates using Fed-Ex service. We would need to verify to be certain we are getting the lowest cost shipping available to your location, sometimes minor specifics do make a difference. Shipping to a commercial address will almost always mean lower cost regardless of the carrier. If you can furnish a commercial address for a reputable business who is willing to receive your crate, it will likely be a shipping cost advantage to you.
We have only a limited number of kits that we can sell outright, as we must retain enough stock to meet demands for our own projects. Please contact us promptly if you have interest; shop phone: 704-474-4683 or email: mseriesrebuild@gmail.com
