    Chassis Jig Spindle Fixtures

    Setting up new chassis' on the jig tables required being able to hold the brake rotor and spindle at ride height on the tables.
    I built these fixtures so the rotors can simply bolt into them.

    These then bolt to angle plates mounted on the jig table. Ride height is set by setting the spindle Centerline at the Static Load Radius of the tire being designed around.

    They stay out of the way while working on suspension stuff on the other side.
