I've added the heavy-duty profile to the PDF collection, as I'm having trouble getting the 275x22 disc in the short-term!

I may be making some progress with the 275x22 discs as well, fingers crossed as the 277x25mm ones are more expensive which isn't the plan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keri-WMS Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 When do you think the next batch will be ready?Sometime this month, the sooner the better! Brackets normally take about 3 weeks in total inc anodising, calipers vary a lot more but there should be some ready to go that were held back from the last batch (6 from memory).I'll have a better idea in the next couple of days.

I've got part worn EBC Greens (yuk) here you could borrow, not sure about discs though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keri-WMS Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi,Any news on these yet Yup, I ordered a small batch of 6x 1.38/1.38 calipers (ideal for 99% of starlets) and 6x 1.62/1.75 calipers (big piston area, ok for people with bias boxes etc) just to keep things ticking over - shouldn't take long but tends to be out of my hands. There weren't any left over so this is a fresh small batch.I'll be getting "production" brackets done soon as well, but there are still some "beta" ones left in the meantime (f/a real difference to be honest, mainly my own internal part numbers etc!).

AlexGTAdv Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Cant remember, do the discs differ on the 82's and 91's as the 91's have abs? Or are the notches in the cv's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AlexGTAdv Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Have just realised it is just the rear discs that differ with the abs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Have just realised it is just the rear discs that differ with the absAh, that would make sense as they are one lump, inc hub and bearing - annoying though!--------------I'd just like to publicly apologise to my customer in Norway who's kit (2nd of the two beta ones) I've only just managed to ship. My normal disc supplier discontinued the 275x22 disc with no warning (still working on that), then all the snow and ice etc meant several other suppliers were closed for ages, but the UK seems to be back on track now.So, sorry about that and I hope the 277x25 heavy-duty upgrade helps make up for it - the UK needs to learn about dealing with snow from Norway!

Don't forget to see if we can do away with the 45' fittings at the chassis end of the lines, they're there to tweak the angle of the lines away from the wheels but there might not be a need.

pockrockgtti Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 When is the 277x25 kit likely to be ready? How mush more will it cost? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 When is the 277x25 kit likely to be ready? How mush more will it cost?Hiya - the calipers are here (arrived yesterday), I've just got to get a batch of brackets done now which is much faster, a few weeks will see everything on the shelf if there are no glitches! The price will be very similar for both versions though, maybe 5-10% more for the thicker disc at the outside (only because it has more machining than the 22mm one).In the meantime I can still offer kits but with the "beta" brackets, not quite as pretty as the productions brackets will be (the ones in the photos are "beta") but the same dimensions, shall I work you out a price? Lead time on "beta" kits is about a week.Cheers! Keri Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KeriHi Keri,If you could work out a price for the beta kit, hopefully still be able to afford a set even through my race spec rocker cover cracked!! not bothered about how pretty they are.Regards,Phil.

Also do alloy wheel repairs including welding up missing chunks. I'm just working out a price for the 277x25 beta kit and will be able to deliver one in about a week (as you're local and desperately lacking brake pads?)? Let me know...In fact as a general heads-up, I will take orders now for the 277x25 beta kit as I have three in total available in the same "week-ish" timescale. After that I'll be out of the brackets I've been re-machining into "beta" brackets, so we'll just need the proper batch to arrive.Details to be updated on the first post of this thread.
