New Braking Set up

#1 Post by englishbull »

Now no connection to me .................other than James being a good, knowledgeable friend for over 28 years...............

James ( works at TR Enterprises) as developed a new braking system set up and this will be on display on his stand at Stoneleigh..........

As said no connection but worth a look for those that fancy a "meatier" set up on their cars.

Can you hit James with a big stick at Stoneleigh and tell him to post those finished hubs to Oz on Monday morning :lol: My brakes make the steering column try to leap out of the bulkhead and I am dying to get my hands on the finished alloy stuff - got the calipers and discs already

For those of us who won't get to Stoneleigh do you know if any details are available; I was starting to think about converting to Stag front brakes

They are the ultimate no compromise set up - more designed for motorsport / very hard driving rather than a intermediate upgrade where Stag disc and calipers and M1144 pads really work well.

Basic spec is:
AP four pot caliper 5100 range http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gSCJcWFZ9hg/U ... 5100_1.JPG
AP Discs 295mm x 25mm - slotted and vented
Bespoke alloy hub and integral disc bell - anodised with Timken bearings fitted http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y5QKC0O1Go4/U ... 00/hub.png
Bespoke caliper mount - anodised
Plus bolts and aeroquip hoses and pads of your choice - M1144 for road or DS2500 / DS3000 for track

Many thanks to both of you; sounds like I probably only need the Stag set-up then.....Whilst my wife sometimes thinks that I drive too fast it's hardly motorsport! :)
