vworks41 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) As above, Does any one know of company's that do custom adapter brackets for 4 and 6 pot calipers?Or should any good machinist be able to do this.

CasperGTI Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) Any good machinist, or anyone with access to autocad and a cnc 3 axis milling machine.If you have autocad you can create a drawing of what you want yourself. and take it to a machine shop with it on a usb pen, and they will produce it.. Or alternativly, find someone doing an engineering degree at university with access to the uni's machine shop. And get them to do it on the cnc milling machine in an evening.Much cheaper.John Edited February 10, 2008 by Casper1496 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Theres your man then!If i was still at uni i could have done some.Havent used autocad and solidworks in about a year now.

MattyA Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) I had box fresh 4 pot Brembos with brackets which would have gone straight on.

vworks41 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 what size disc's are they ment for ?? what car as well ??lol, they will never fit. what they from!?Believe it or not they can run discs from 300mm to 355mm and even though they look massive they're actually about the same width as the standard caliper.You can run them with 15's as well, but it would have to be something like Mo's or a speedline. Theyre from ford motorsport and used on there wrc super 1600's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
