So I have a wilwood conversion on my standard spindles so when I got a pair of Bert's I made a new conversion. What do you think?

Brackets were CNC milled and no alteration of spindles is needed:

just looking at the reflection, looks like the worker made it all wonky from the metal finishing process.

the brackets are not wonky, it is just the reflection of their finish. No other support at the top so I guess I will see if it works!

The discs are chromed but only show discs and using them for mockup
