Global West TAs from Tracdogg2!

[Kid Vette]

Santa came a little early this year! I got my TAs back from Tracdogg2 (Mike Dyer).





Mike trued up the Wilwood rotors I just purchased and also refaced the emergency brake drum. It came with a pretty coarse finish. Mike said the secret to getting Vette EB to work is a very fine finish on the drum.



Mike also trued up the hubs on the TAs. I shouldn't have to do any shimming.



GW offers their TAs with bushings or johnny joints. I ordered these with johnny joints.





GW changed the opening for the EB cable. It was a small round hole which was giving people issues routing the cable. Now it is a large tear drop shape.





Mike also trued up my front hubs and installed new wheel studs and bearing races.



Can't wait until the differential comes back!

purdy.... If I wasn't already committed to trying the Guldstrand's - those arms would be the choice

Those are Really Sweet.
DO you have a weight comparison for them? Just curious if they come in at just about the same as originals. Much better looking weld than factory TAs.

Nice score!

Cheers Jim

BTW - I find DC takes a day or 2 to get my pics loaded...

Noticing the welds also. Appears they've had some experience.

Very Nice!

Yeh, and is Mike a dealer? or just cleaned out some surplus he didn't need???

Nice! But what is the improvement of those over stock T/A?

Mike could give a more detailed picture than me. These arms are more rigid, allow wider wheels and incorporate teflon lined spherical joints. Mike mentioned he often sees stock arms bent or twisted.
