Was good to meet you cliokongen - you are a sound bloke (and you have good taste in women lol)

And fred - this is the best I can do I'm afraid!

 

[Fred@BTM]

I think I'm gonna leave it for a bit, cos I really would prefer to get the midlite calipers which are dust sealed, but I've been told that I would need some brackets to be desined and made up in order to use them. I take it that no one has doen this yet and I can't be bothered with that kind of hastle at the mo, so i'll leave it till next year I think, and get some ideas before I part with my money. Matt

Lunner was looking at Midlights I think not sure how far he got.

Making the bracket up isn't diffcult any enginerring place or tool room with a good drilling machine can do it all you need are the drawings.

Yes m8...I was talking to Lunner about this earlier, but he said that he's not got the money to get some yet but was looking into getting the brackets designed. Where I work can definately make the brackets and maybe even design them, but I'd rather get hold of a drawing...or would I have to design them myself?

4pots are overkill on light mk1's unless you have 200/250+bhp..imo

 

[Matty]

Think if you get a set up with the midilites offered there will be a few of us after them....

 

[Fred@BTM]

hum i'll look into it, but i really don't see the need for dust seals

 

[stew_punk]

any news on this fred?

im still interested in the kit.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'm SILL waiting on prices from mr Wilwood, i'll give him a kick tomorrow!

ive just upgraded my brakes, wilwood midilites, brembo max discs and ebc greenstuff padsand changed the brake fluid to castrol super response dot 4, i sourced all the parts myself and had the brackets made up and fitted.

i already had goodridge brake hoses but u will need longer ones. on one side at full lock one of the hoses tugs a bit.if u want to save on cost u can just get one longer hose. i changed both sides to the longer hoses.

i was told i might have to get a slightly larger master cylinder with a bigger bore because the brake fluid will need to be pumped further because of the larger calipers. this was to counteract the fact u might have a spongy pedal.

initial reactions on the drive home from the garage (60 mile trip) was the brakes felt the same as standard but with a very spongy pedal .

because everything is new it will take 250-300 miles until they bed in , if not more.

took the car out for a little drive today (30 miles) and they felt much much better
more bite and pedal seems to be firming up. im happy but not over the moon just yet.

i cant give much more feedback , but considering the brakes felt a whole lot better today i can only say i think there is a lot more to come from them once they are fully bedded in. ive not done any heavy braking as of yet ill let them settle in first but once ive done a few more miles ill give an update

 

[MattyH16v]

Nice one m8...keep us posted as to whether they get any better. Just out of interest....how much did that lot set you back in total....and also....who did you get to make the brakets up? Matt

im sorry to say im losing interest in this...

may go for a different option unless yozzasport come back to me with a good price quickly...

i currently have fook all brakes left on the track car and need a quick solution.

 

[White16valver]

I've got the brembo max discs / Pagid Blue pads / goodrich lines from YS and I'm very happy with them - might be worth a try?

FOr a cheap good value option I'd look at new brakes line
£45 or so
£60 for DS2500 pads which are very good ontrack they should be fine)
New bleed nipples seals etc and rebuilt th calipers yourself (i'm looking to a price I'd say £35 for the parts and say 2 hours strip down time).
New disk well any normal disk so £60.
new fluiod fully bled say £30 (you'll waste a load fully bleeding the system).
