I am a little stuck with my Wilwood brake install because I need to space the rotor hats away from the rotors in order to get them to fit in my car.

I need 2 ring-type spacers with the following dimensions:

-Aluminum or steel
-6.25" x 6 bolt pattern, 3/8" bolt holes
-5.75" ID, 6.75" OD (not a vital measurement)
-0.36" thick

If anyone here wants the job, please IM me a quote. All of the shops I have called either want to make 100 of the things minimum or have ridiculous prices.

I wish there was a marketplace forum for work like this, but I couldn't find one.

Thanks!

 

2 ways to reduce your cost
provide a CAD File to the shop quoting and provide the material. that way all your paying for it programming, setup and running it rather than abunch of other stuff. 1 off stuff costs alot of money because its time consuming if you can setup your machine to make 1 its just as easy to run 100 of them, so your spreading your fixed costs across many parts instead of one most shops charge 75-100 programming and 50-100 setup fee + run time + material so Im guessing those parts are going to cost about 300 bucks

 

I can provide .DWG but shops still have to convert it to G-code depending on the machine they use.

 

send me a copy of the dwg (dxf is better cause it's universal). you gotta find an ole skool machinist. i bet you that bracket spacer can be done on a vert. mill w/o programming involved.

some apps can even convert to bmp. just make sure the dims are legible.

from what you've said, you are starting from scratch?

Dang. My SolidWorks lisense expired. I can't convert it to dxf.


No, I am not starting from scratch. I have everything I need to install the brakes except this spacer. I machined the brackets and spacers when I was in school, but I made 6 individual spacers and the rotor slightly wobbles from some being a few thou off from the others. So I need the ring spacers to make it safe.

 

it's cool. i have AC2000 so i can read a dwg. i'll take a look and show it tom.

 

Let's see if this works:

Not sure if it is formatted properly... Hopefully it is.

The thickness should be 0.36"

 

have you tried http://www.emachineshop.com ?

 

Lol, yes. Their prices are supposed to be better because you draft the parts... But they aren't.

Edit: Looks like I have found a vendor. Thanks!

Error in drawing header on line 1.
C:\DOCUME~1\JASONA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\spacer_flange.d xf is not valid DXF file

i tried vellum and ac2000.

can you convert/export to bmp?

 

Sorry. Since my solidworks lisense expired I can't seem to convert anything into anything else. Fortunately my fiance bought me another student lisense for Christmas. So I will have it for at least another year.

Anyway, I was PM'ed a pretty good price for the parts from a pretty reputable shop, so the need has been filled.

 

Yay!

Glad I could help! Good luck with your project!
