Ha ha I'll see what I can sort out.
I have been undecided on brakes for a little while and these 197 Brembo's popped up for a reasonable price.
These should be an improvement on the standard callipers and depending on how well they take abuse I might stick with them!

its going to look bloody lovely on the Williams wheels, so George is under oath to post pictures as soon as they are on.

That's the set up I'm going with on mine but 300mm getting brackets made up just now
It's going to be close!
Some spacers and you'll be fine lad
nice wheels, you selling them
Are they my old Williams wheels you bought off me 6 - 7yrs ago haha?
What pads you using in the brembos?
I've still not decided on what to use stuck between ds2500 or CL rc5+

no mate, lol! sold those a long long time ago (possibly in a galaxy far far away as well)
these were another set from my stock!
The 'kit' came with a practically new set of standard pads - so I might just roll with them for now..
I'll probably end up with ds2500 to be honest.
No worries, you fitting them ASAP?
Probably early next week.
Good man let me know how the stopping power is
Yeah just the brackets but if you use 280mm discs the mounting surface on the caliper needs machined a little where I'm going for 300mm disc so my calipers don't need machined
Fitted the brembo's today and it went seamlessly
They will fit under the williams wheels with 20mm spacers which is excellent news.
Obviously I can't judge the performance yet as the discs and pads are new.
Initial impressions are that the top of the pedal is softer than before (due to the increased size of calliper I assume) but better pedal feel after the initial softness.
They look epic under the williams wheels and fill the standard cup wheels nicely.
Does anyone have a picture of a standard 197/200/r26 brembo of the mounting surface? I wanted to see if mine have been machined - I had some 300mm discs lying round that I tried, with no luck.

the willy wheels on then George? pics required I feel
Sadly not yet mate.
I still need to get my winters put on them - possibly tomorrow
then you can have some pics! (I might have one showing the willy wheels and brembos though, bare with me i'll have a look)

To use 280mm discs the calipers have to machined down about 5mm plus the mount will be different
George you will see n the bottom of the picture the mounting face is essentially flat to fit the 280mm disks where as 300mm are raised. The mounts also need to be 5mm bigger as Wayne says (hi) which gives another 10mm diameter change.
If you really want then large 5mm penny washers and non machined callipers will get you there. I will say though you will never get the 300mm scenic disks or a disk with that offset under a set of 16" wheels without stupid width spacers.
Edit: Can you post a picture of your brackets too please for ref as they look to have bolts which is physically impossible done right.

Hi enjoying the hot sun?
I'm going to try it with the turinis but got 20mm spacers just in case
Sure am.
That last post was worded a bit strong, quite a few 16" wheels would fit but spacers are almost a given. My 16" et40 pro race 1.2's needed 10mm to work with 280mm disks which isn't too bad I suppose.
Yup - my callipers a machined flat..
Thanks for that info.
I don't have a picture of the brackets separately, but this shows how the callipers fit onto the brackets.
They look ok to me?

Brakes look epic!
Good man
I sure I read that they fit with turinis and if it works I'll use the spacers on the ph1 lol
And also you might want to route the brake hose different to what you have in the first pic or it will rub through. If its 197 hoses you have then they will need a hole drilling in the inner arch and a p-clip fitting to keep them clear of the wheels.
Dint pay attention to how far out the calliper sits.

That'd be lovely, I have just routed them as the original flexi hoses were - for now.
Ahh ok - Ill sort out a couple of p-clips.
Thanks mate.
Thanks mate.
Should do the trick for now
How much power are you planning on taking it up too?!
Probably only a little bit more to be honest - it drives really well imo, but a little bit more topend would be just dandy.
Awesome 182 mate & I'm not a fan of black cars, good choice on the brakes mine are spot on.
