Where to find racing spindles and hubs

I know most of us have our go to's for GRM projects (Miata hubs and spindles, Mustang II and 8.8 IRS out of Exploders ect.)

But if you actually wanted race pieces where do you go. My google foo is failing me.

Like for the LeGrande, Formula Ford, Radical, ect.

So what say you GRM. Race parts? And better yet, where to find them cheap? (I know previous years take offs are always a good place to start)

Pegasus Auto Racing carries some Formula Ford uprights. For other 'small' car type stuff look for Atlantic parts and/or SportsRacer parts. Maybe even Radical...
For 'big' cars try the circle track new/used part places.

In reply to stafford1500:

Thanks, I forgot to add for the rear IRS.

Even some purpose-built race cars don't use purpose-built race car hubs. Radicals use a VW production hub IIRC, and the NASA/Elan NP01 uses CTS-V hubs.

When looking for building hubs for one-off cars I try to find a production car that was built with the same parts for a long run. My current favorite is the front hub assembly form a 2005-2015 FWD Toyota RAV4. They have a bolt on hub assembly that is splined for drive axles and they could be had with a 250ish HP V6 so they should take a fair bit of power. And they should be readily available since they built a bazillion of the things. I bought a cheap version from Rock auto for $35 or so. Perfect for mock-up and construction of hub carriers.
Maybe cruise the junkyard and see what cars in the power range/bolt pattern you are looking for had bolt on hub assemblies.

It's going to depend on what part you are looking for. Some cars have one company that is still making castings to support it. Some use a more common casting that can be had from a few places. If you are going to be building from scratch and want to see what is out there, I'd browse on sites like ApexSpeed and CALL (not surf) builders and suppliers to race cars. Places like Taylor Engineering.

Thanks guys, gives me a direction to go tonight.

Circle track parts catalogs are full of all sorts of tasty stuff, but you'll also find yourself puzzling over "6th spring" setups and the like. I have an AFCO Racing catalog at my desk that has a bunch of tempting and inexpensive things in it.

Radical uses an upright of their design made of welded mild steel. It uses a 1986-1990 UK Ford Escort XR2i wheel bearing and dimensional copy of the hub and rotor. When one of the original radical parts broke on my race car I wasn't about to drop $3000 on 4 replacement corners from Radical. So I spent all winter tooling up and making parts, then welding and plating. My version uses a VW bearing, Wilwood Dyna-pro caliper, my own rotor hats and discs made for me by Coleman.

In reply to motomoron:

sweet! Is there a reason you changed bearing spec?

In reply to Flight Service:

Absolutely!

The Radical part is unobtanium in the US. As in, I design mechanical things for a living and my best bearing guys were stumped. I'd buy them on ebay.co.uk or from UK parts retailers who'd ship to USA. Same deal with the rotors.

The VW Golf II bearings are same ID and OD but a little thicker.

Motomoron's pictures are the ones I was thinking of when I started looking for off the shelf parts to build uprights.

There is a place in WI with large background in circle track knowledge: http://www.wehrsmachine.com/

Speedway motors may be a reference also

Seconding the circle track recommendation, spindles/hubs/bearings to go 200mph are dirt cheap and locally available most places. If you want to build for longevity, trophy truck parts are a good place to start too!
