1990timeismoney Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Various hopefully I would like to help other traders with mold tools very cost effective. And help other members with pre fabricated parts.brackets etc anything from aluminium to titanium.If one of the traders was making a short shifter kit would be good to help out etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Copper gaskets mate like the set you made me once that have now popped up on eBay lolWere awesome qualityPhil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 well mate extension brackets for the levin twin pots setup on our starlets from 260 to 300 or 320mm loads of peeps will be ordering them if they ever came in production :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) well mate extension brackets for the levin twin pots setup on our starlets from 260 to 300 or 320mmloads of peeps will be ordering them if they ever came in production :) 300 and 320 would never work due to overall size of the calipers not trying to piss on your fire, but it would rub on inside edge you would need to run 17's which kinda defeats the point. nothing more than 285mm could realistically ever work on a starlet with levins.....

5e colin Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 ha cheers to clear that up russ so on the opel 280mm disk you wont see a problem ??? it will only be a 10mm extension braket for the 280mm discs then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) ha cheers to clear that up russso on the opel 280mm disk you wont see a problem ??? it will only be a 10mm extension braket for the 280mm discs then much cheaper and easier option is to source a set of ST202 carrier brackets which take lathed 277mm opel discs but bolt directly onto Levin twinpot calipers like a recent kit I just sold Edited September 21, 2014 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 sorry for hijacking your thread bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 i se your point there russ but if the topic starter could make the brackets to 280mm then its strait fit to 280mm with no lathe work !! i personaly think thats what al of us would be after to save a bit of cash over the years :) topic starter wont mind this highjack Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I can second the copper gaskets. Got a custom 4 way collector gasket made for my hks 4-1 mani and it was spot on considering it was Made from a trace and faxed over as well! Something to think about, some nice machined engine mounts (like the hasport ones honda swaps use) would look much better than the dated oem ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Yeah mate spot on.Something like this just a nice machined finish mount but obviously to suit starlets. http://jdmaccessories.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/15551d1327794743-looking-buy-eg-dc-b-series-motor-mounts-htup_0609_04_z-1995_honda_civic_coupe_eg-hasport_motor_mount.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Would be good to be able to offer any kind of machining people are looking for at any given time, provided they can send you measurements over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yoshimitsu666 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 would like to have an adapter for the plate holes, so that you bolt the adapter jnto the std jdm plate holes and then bolt the usdm plate onto that. running one bolt at the mo! no one makes adapters for this and there would be a decent market.

Yoshimitsu666 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 yeah its for the licence plate. jdm holes are spaced differently than usdm/cadm ones so moost of the jdm lads here are running plates with just one bolt on, looks cack and holds it off centre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
