    I think almost everyone is aware of the MYTOY rear axle cover double cover, I had some made for the forum members for free. I had to give an order for a minimum qty. and yes I have a few left. And if anyone is interested to purchase them just send me a PM and i'll take care of you. They would be just be straight ALU 6061,

    Message sent. Thanks

    Hi guys and girls, the double nut cover which I promised to a few members are made ready for shipping (should ship by Saturday), except the couple which will be painted in super fast red they will take a few more days. In all of them are the set screws installed, and the Allen Wrench for mounting is included as well.
    For everyone else I have a few extras which I will put up on the marketplace for sale. NOTE: the are wit out coding or plating just plain ALU 6061 T6.


    Where does one find the "Marketplace"??

    I got "Lucky" last night!! Oh, no.... probably not your first thought! That would have been a "Miracle" happening! I got my ECU badges... Thank You Slingshot Garage , fine job and much appreciated...

    Yeap,


    We did get all of the production parts in about a week before the Texas Slingshot event and started testing the production parts. Everything looks good with the production parts and we have another week of testing on it and then those will be up on the site. We are still looking at around $3000 for the full kit of all 3 wheels with parking brake.

    Dave I just got an email saying my order for fronts is being processed. Can you add the rear set up to it?

    Bill from Hahn RaceCraft, are we close to a weekly update?

    That is a good question. Right now we have no plans to go with another parking brake caliper though.
    We originally designed the rear parking brake setup to use an internal drum setup, but after hearing about a couple issues with that setup on the other rear kit, we went back to an individual caliper for the parking brake. We have used several of the Wilwood parking brake calipers on custom setups before including mechanical spot calipers like in your picture and the MC4 and have always preferred the MC4 over the mechanical spot calipers for a couple reasons. The MC4 is basically a floating setup that is very easy to adjust by the end user and setup properly, also the attachment point for the cable is more secure than the mechanical spot calipers we have used. The MC4 is also a lot simpler in operation than the internal drum and easier to install. Wilwood does list the MC4 as maxing out at 12.88" and we are using it on a 14" rotor, however we do have it mounted so that there is plenty of clearance from the caliper to the rotor and also the pad is in complete contact with the rotor and does not hang off of the rotor at all. Typically the reason you limit a caliper to a certain size rotor is for those reasons. Also, since the center of force of the pad is further out on the rotor, there is a torque advantage when applied vs. the center of force closer to the center of the rotor. We have also used the MC4 on other custom setups with larger than 12.88" rotors before and they work fantastic. We will be doing more testing on the setup though before it is released and will make sure that it can lock up the rear while at speed, hold the Slingshot on steep hills, etc. If this parking brake setup does not perform atleast as good as stock, we will ditch it and probably just go back to the internal drum setup we already prototyped also.


    Hope that helps,
    Dave

    Dave@DDMWorks, are there any further developments or info on this?

    I will let everyone know, it looks like I may have 20 each spare to sell after the chosen ones are taken care of. I don't mean to offend anyone I just can't afford to make free ones for the everyone even I would love to,

    Believe me brother I'm not looking for nor expecting a hand out, no offense taken! I know that nothing is free. I just hope there happens to be a spare as I sure would like to cover the ugly nuts.....

    Here is an update for my fellow slingshot member's I promised some to get free double nut covers (you know who you are) My buddy is in the progress of making them. I had a special one made for myself
    (because I'm special :00000436::00000436::00008172::00008172::00008356::00008356: )
    If DDM Works is not offering them soon I will.

    When or if you choose to offer these to other than the chosen few, let me know. I'd be more than happy to pay!

    Good chance the guy I mentioned may have infringement problems soon enough. I transferred mine to an IPad now, very handy and useful.

    I must agree with with @mniron, even though in the item description it says he owns the rights to it with no infringement, I wanted to get my hands on a copy ASAP! With a few of us having it there should be no need for anyone else having to part with $$ for this, save it for more mods, and we can offer reference info between ourselves! Mine is sure enough going straight to iPad for convenience.
