Niiiiice!!!!

We don't do that kit currently, but as you say we could supply braided versions of any lines you send us?

Er..........................nope! Funny format there, shame they don't group the cars a bit, even if just by make.

I think it was a white EP91, and one white and one black EP82's. I noted that none of you guys had my brakes, calipers on the brain me!

So that's M12 into 10mm thick aluminium? Do you machine the uneven rear face of the caliper around the fluid port to get it to seal properly with the copper banjo washers and I assume you'll need to strip and clean/air blast the calipers to clear the swarf from re-tapping the fluid port out of the fluid channels? What did you machine the spigot rings for the discs out of?

He'll just plead guilty then declare himself bankrupt I expect - can't imagine he's worth a lot.

At least he's been nicked now!

On the other hand there are some angry drivers from the race online too! I think there was a statement from the organisers about it I saw...

He's going to get hounded for months - if he ever wanted to spend a year packpacking across somewhere remote I would suggest now is going to be the time!!!!

Ferodo don't make these pads any more in DS2500!

Us, if Ferodo make them! Drop me a PM with the exact year / engine etc etc?

Breaking / Braking ......

I have no idea to be honest..... :-/

Yup, that's Barney Davies (one of our customers, his car has a WMS 4P109 brake kit)! He raced in the project 8 saloons last year I think, this year he's racing in the BARC Cannons Tin Tops. I think he did ok........as he got the class win in both races (one was the overall win too), one pole, one fastest lap, first time out in a new series too! You can see him at the start (pole!), and then regaining the lead (on the brakes ) at about 8:00min here. The camera car is a Rover Tomcat Turbo.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiEh8aVHc3M See: https://www.flickr.com/photos/99229870@N04/10856856476/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/99229870@N04/10856866045/ Race Report here: http://www.barcsoutheast.co.uk/report13april14qmn.php Results and lap times here: http://www.barcsoutheast.co.uk/results/tintops120414.pdf

Which size rotors have you got? Am still looking into this.

They are a splined press fit into the hub flange. If you're lucky you might find that the stud has pushed out the back of the flange and that's why it's spinning and not tightening. Look at the back of the hub (wheel on is fine, I assume you can't get the wheel off?), and see if you can see the "head" of the back of the stud. If it's poking out then use a punch/hammer to get it back in, then undo the nut, and replace the stud. If the stud has stripped the splines and is spinning inside the hub flange then it's more of a pain!!! You'll really need to replace the hub, and the main thing is probably to not damage the wheel. I'd be tempted to get someone to tack weld the back of the stud to the hub and take the nut off, rather than fking about drilling/grinding out the nut and damaging the wheel. Photos!

Working on it, no need to get the number. :-)

I'll look into it - you mean Project Mu? They do them for WMS 4 pots! :-) I'll try and get some prices.

We are interested in seeing if we can help but we need to borrow a rotor/bell first and so far haven't been able to.

It would be a similar cost to the front kits I'd say, but it depends how we go about it.... The bearing is the main stumbling block, there are a few ways round it but we've just not had a chance to work on it yet. :-/ It will happen at some point, epecially now we have some limited in-house CNC prototyping etc Sorry guys, there are a heap of things we're working on a once for the Starlet, and not enough time at the moment. But the demand is there so we will be doing it as soon as we can.....

A few points I want to raise here: - WMS kits are designed to maintain the correct front > rear bias using correct choice of piston size to match the larger discs (although as you say, a lot of the cheap far eastern stuff is one-size-fits-all) - As you brought up highspec in the WMS thread it's only fair to share why we don't worry about competing too hard with them head > head: "Exhibits A, B and C", randomly grabbed off google, but don't take my word for it, there's plenty more out there if you search for their reputation: A - http://passionford.com/forum/general-car-related-discussion/377242-hi-spec-brakes-leaking-update.html B - http://www.nyssa.ltd.uk/Y10/wankers.shtml C - http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=27045&highlight=hispec&page=2 ...it just seems some people are lucky with them and some aren't.

Sorry, been off sick for a couple of days!
