We don't have one ready yet, there is more progress being made though.
I don't know for sure as I haven't created a PDF for it yet - I can do one for you if you wanted to try it in your wheel?
I'm probably using a different disc for the 331.7x30 kits, but the first two prototypes will go as shown in the photos. I'll make sure spare discs are available for these so there's no risk! Here are...
Give me a few min...
Nope - we're nothing to do with Wilwood, they are our competitor. We (along with Wilwood) often use motorsport-industry-standard pads etc, but that's it.
Hmmm, could be a plan JT and you have a point - assuming your car is running! :D
So am I! To be honest I was really trying to find someone nearby to take the first beta kit but that now seems unlikely, sorry for the resulting delay.
I can release the first kit as long as the...
The beta kit has been made but it's not been sold - to be honest I was really hoping to find a local car for it to go on, but as there are several people who are interested in having it I'm going to...
Thanks for the offer, I'll drop you a PM. :-)
What I'm looking for is a buyer for this first kit to put a few miles on it and let the forum know what they think. It's been test fitted on one...
This is still happening, but the Plan A local car is still in parts (engine rebuild) and I've just heard that the Plan B local car (several 850's in one family!) has been in an accident and needs...
Ok, some more info from the test-fitting etc:
- The 331.7x30, 330x22 and S60R disc based kits all clear the aluminium wishbone, and the 330x22 and S60R disc based ones clear the steel type of...
Thanks, glad you like them! :-)
...ah, did you mean readily available? The S60R ones are a standard item and can be found from a range of places, both WMS discs are only available from us but...
Nearly, just need to check the brake lines on the first car (they look to be straight forward, the car is local so I'll be doing it) then we'll be looking to do the first batch. We'll need to have...
Right, I've done more real-world testing, wheel clearance this time. Here are the results:
330x22 WMS disc - based kit fits the 17" Titan with no spacer, needs a 3mm+ (ie 4mm) spacer in the 17"...
The first brackets are ready to go on a car to double-check the brake lines specs - but I thought I may as well do a proper dummy build bolted up on the strut as I had some free time.
So here are...
I make it £105.00+vat for DS5200 pads and £148.61+vat (ESTIMATED) for 331.7x30 discs = £253.61+vat (estimated) = £303.33 inclusive, not £350.
320mm Volvo discs, do you mean 330x32 S60R ones? I've...
The WMS kit can also use the 330x32 S60R disc, I made a point of doing that, you can also swap between the two WMS disc sizes too! The S60R disc isn't great though (it's just convenient) and it being...
Here are the brake bias comparison numbers, there are two piston size options on the T30x caliper, 1.38"x4 and 1.62"x2 + 1.75"x2 staggered. Basically if I was going to leave the rear brakes alone and...
I'll be able to tell you what the exact increase in torque is as a percentage (taking brake fluid pressure and pad compounds as constants) - the ultimate limiting factor to stopping force is grip,...
That's nearly it - braided brake lines look to be between £30-35+Vat/pr, these are necessary because WMS calipers are a different fitting to the Volvo ones. So as estimate, £615.00-ish+vat for the...
More info, weight comparisons:
S60R 330x32 disc = 9.86kg
WMS 330x22 disc = 7.41kg
WMS 331.7x30 disc = 10.00kg dead
WMS 331.7x30 disc (trimmed outer face option) = 9.59kg
On the left is the...
Still making progress behind the scenes:
- Brake lines are designed pending checking the angle I'd want them to enter the caliper (TBC on a car).
- Initial pair of brackets are in the process of...
Not as yet, but we plan to later in the project (331.7x32mm rotor on a bell straight-swap upgrade first, so people with our 331.7x30mm one-peice disc will be able to retro-fit it).
Our prototype 331.7x30mm WMS 4 pot kit fits easily behind Titans without wheel spacers if that's any help?
Also at a later date we may have a 347mm kit, but that won't fit behind the Titan - but...
To be fair we're only compairing like for like if:
- We're looking at a 4-pot caliper
- Everything is new
Both versions of the WMS kit do fit under the 17" Titan and will probably fit the...
