More Pure Stock Update

Might sound crazy but my buddy uses off the shelf Autozone wheel bearings. He focuses on torque settings and grease type. They spin like crazy. It’s a Foxbody Mustang that he ran in NMRA Factory Stock.

Some racers have picked up a full tenth with the micro polished and chemical lubricant surface treatment.
More when a transmission and rear end bearings are done.

Also, He paid a lot of attention to his stock front brake setup and i believe he honed out the piston sleeve to allow it to slide freely in the bore.

Hmm that is a good idea.
There should be some improvement lessening Brake Drag.

Did add a new brake cable to stop the Parking Brake from dragging.

Just went over the wheel and reconditioned them.
The Washers were deformed and caused the studs to break last year.
