mark1991 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hi guys, I know this has been mentioned before hahaBut I may have found the solution,If the discs in the link are incorrect they have a custom disc service Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 We have a custom disc service - if somone would send as the old discs to work from! (EDIT - assuming this is the 3G rotor!?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mark1991 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Only problem is that my car is my daily Keri Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I assume that's the case with most people - what I mean is anyone else offering custom discs will also need the old disc to work from. (EDIT - assuming this is the 3G rotor!?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 so if i send you a disc that works with my GT4 calipers you could make me up a custom disc to suit (and than produce a GT4 disc) how much would you want for the above? additionally, if i buy 2 front wilwood calipers (radial mounted) would you make a bracket to suit an existing discs you already offer with the WMS kits?

Phil Q1 - Do you mean ST185 (single or twin pot) calipers? If so then I'd be interested in cases where lots of people are ALREADY USING a given caliper. Q2 - Afraid not, because people are better off with the full WMS kit. Same goes for supplying discs for that purpose - WMS discs were developed or speced for WMS kits (with a lot of time/money/effort invested in the process). Bottom line I don't mind doing custom discs/rotors to try and help people in the starlet community out who are already running the 3G rotor/bell setup or other commonly fitted OEM calipers. Cheers!

Phil We don't supply any EBC discs really (although we still list them in the odd place) - we had a fair bit of trouble with QC on them when got them in in the past. Totally mis-matched "pairs" and things like that which didn't impress me at all! Like one disc turned on a lathe but the other finished on a blanchard grinder.....and differing casting thicknesses left/right too so pads will get to temp earlier on one wheel. I'm sure most are fine but we seemed to get iffy ones!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 My ebc discs were stamped bembo on the outer edge when i got them but i had heard they used a few suppliers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keri-WMS Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sounds about right - most disc brands draw their stock from a wide range of actual manufacturers - Brembo being one of them, often if the discs are large and Italian! The ID of the blank discs we use are restricted, and in any case nearly all of them are modified in one way or another. So when we do supply EBC ones they normally have areas where the plating has gone due to machining! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mark1991 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Turn around time for the discs Keri? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 To get dimensions and return the old ones, about a week. To make new ones if it goes smoothly, about 2-3 weeks (as my working week is split at the moment). Ideally I'd want to still have an alloy bell at this stage to double check final fit/tolerances and take a few photos - but it's not essential. The "fun" bit is reverse-engineering a worn part, it's far more difficult than a new part! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I've got my spare 3G wilwood kit. I should really send you a disc out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sounds like a plan, which of the two sizes of kit is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mark1991 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 i thought you only got one size? 285X25? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Had a feeling there are 305mm ones or similar? Less common... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 They did a 288mm for 15 and a 305 i think for 16's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mark1991 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Ahhh 288 sounds more like it, never Seen a 305 kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 There were at least 3 sizes of 3G kits made by TMD - 288x25.4, 285x?? and 300x20mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The spare disc I measured up are 285 x a worn 22.5mm ish presume they are the same size on my other kit as they just fit under 15's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
