[GT500KR]

Very nice.

Honest opinion? I just don't see that too many people will be interested in upgrading the brakes on their Dakota's. Now that the Dakota's have been scrubbed from future production, it makes it even less likely to catch on.

I've just not seen many people who give enough of a shit about a Dakota to spend that kind of money on it.

Oh, I'm sure there will be a demand for them in the short haul. But realize that a shit-ton of people will say they will buy it, then back out due to unexpected bills, it costs more than they thought it would, etc.

I get the impression you've designed and plan to manufacture these? The CAD drawing is what led me to think that. I know how VERY expensive it can be to only make 20 sets of something like this. Before you order your first run, I would require deposits from those interested.

Not trying to get all up in your business. Just trying to keep a fellow Mustang enthusiast grounded, ya know?

i hear you and thanks for you concern. but i have my own machine shop. just purchased a CNC for doing lots of things. this being one of them. we make pulleys and LS1 stuff too. also accessory drives for older engines. also do custom engraveings

but yea haha as you mentioned earlier it is true... i did this becasue i was doing my own 2 piece 15" brake kit with ZO6 vette stuff then i got swormed with people saying hey hey wait do stuff to fit the stock wheels and rt wheels first we will buy em up!!! well guess what... nothing yet people are like oh man eventually or after college or gf pregnant again lol.. i dont care i was gonna do them any ways...

thanks for feed back... got any "billet" ideas for the mustangs? was thinking about LCA's but everyone makes em... ya know

Your work looks good, you should do more pulleys.

 

[VTXFrank]

Some billet pulleys would be nice. Oil dipstick, brake cover and other, various covers for under hood would be nice too. Especially if you can make them cheaper than what others are wanting.

Nice, does this solve the random locking brakes some dakotas suffer from or is that problem deeper in the system? (I have a friend that's been having alot of problems, but haven't done much research for him yet)
