Everybody,
     It turns out that the drawings Rod Kent had were from Group 44 for 
bigger spindles and bearings to cure the spindle flex problem. The 
bigger bearings required a bigger hub but it mounted stock rotors. This 
mod predated SCCA allowing the Jag rotor/caliper combo. I do have some 
sketches of the bigger spindles and hubs I made for the street toy. They 
use the Jag rotors because we had so many spares. I also have the 
sketches of adapters to mount the Sumitomo 300zx calipers. The ZX 
calipers have huge pistons which help solve the TR pedal ratio 
shortcomings. The spindles use the stock inner bearing with a Chevy 
Malibu outer. I can scan the sketches if anybody is interested. They do 
have most dimensions but they were drawn while being made so I can't 
guarantee results. (your mileage may vary) Anybody good with Autocad is 
welcome to clean them up.
