Nice to see the small step over on the machining leaving a better surface finish

What CAM software are you using ?

They look awesome!

Just out of interest, what kind of bearings, drive flanges and driveshafts do you need to use in combination with these? And what about the brake calipers, are the mounting points in the same location as on standard knuckles?

These require WRC bearings with integrated dust seals and WRC drive flange / driveshaft. You need adapters to suit your caliper of choice, as nothing is standard with this kind of setup.

I will make the other bits as well, but haven't yet so won't sell something I don't have. These are all original WRC fitment.

They're not cheaper than the others, but not more expensive either. Difference being they look proper
