4 pot upgrade, DIY.

[siamblue]

Well it has been a longtime coming, but today i fitted my 4 pots in the first trial, The brackets had been a longtime coming but the wait was well worth it, I did initially buy some bracket blanks from Germany but these weighed in at over 1.5kg each before drilling and tapping the holes, the brackets i had fabricated up weigh in at 500 grams each exactly, that is a massive saving in weight even against the standard 302mm brackets,
Here are a couple of pics,
At the moment i have decided to run these with a 302mm disc, but i do have the option of fitting the 330mm disc if need be,

Not driven it yet, and thanks for the thumbs up BB about the braided hoses ;)Today i just wanted to see if the brackets worked and everything lined up, brackets might be up for sale in the future i will have to ask the machinist and more importantly the foreman whether he can do some more,
As for selling it, the new car i want isn't in the country yet, but i have people telling me not to do it, for financial sakes lol,
My car has been off road now for 2 weeks waiting for tyres to come in so with not driving it i wanted to sell it, On the tyre front I told MYTYRES to stick their order, So i have Eventyres turning up in the morning to get me back on the road,


Gary,

PS have a nice dual Ferrita turning up next week for a early xmas pressie,

That the hose connections are the same for the standard Volvo caliper to the Porsche 4 pot :)

They are supposed to be Lilac not Pink lol, thought it was better than Purple with red,
