Fabricated A-Body spindle ideas and discussion
I think I just did up the knuckle and let the hub land where it was. But I have already bought (4) 18x9 +35mm wheels so wasn't excited about a different offset. That said, I struggled to find 9" +35mm wheels that would work and a +30 or even +24 wheel seemed easy. So it might actually work better if it is a new build to keep the rotor back.
That said, all of my designs have been a flat plate welded assembly that could potentially be a bit modular so it could maybe be build both ways with just the addition or subtraction of a couple of plates.
I should add that I have been trying to keep this thing free from having to access a machine shop. I have been very happy with SendCutSend so far and my plan have been laser cutting all the plates and then plug and stitch welding the parts and depending on the bolts for the hub and LBJ to make it strong. The only caveat is the UBJ mount, that would take a real weld as it is designed right now.
The new stuff I have been toying with was started due to this spindle.

But I don't have much of anything more than an idea so far, and most of it would still be much like I have posted already. More just a bent spacer to offset the hub from the caliper mounting surface.
