dandan Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Does anybody know of any kits/other vehicles/upgrades/etc that could get me a 330mm diameter rear disc to fit the Supra and retain the stock handbrake mechanism? eg K Sport/KAD/Brembo etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 You could have some made, the ones I did for my Skyline would be similar: ftp://ftp.chriswilson.tv/Skyline_Stuff/rear_brakes The outside diameter of the bell will dictate the ID of the disc you can use, with the OD dictating swept area, and maybe limiting caliper choice.

RobSheffield Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Is it a minimum of 330? The Brembo rear kit gives 13.58 which is 340mm, handbrake remains as stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 330-333mm really Rob; 340 would be too large but thanks for the info. Chris - on your ftp site you have an "AMG Brakes" folder and photo. They look like the 8 pot Brembo calipers designed for 360mm OD, 36mm thick discs. Do you know what discs the actual ones in your photo are? Are they Mercedes or aftermarket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Bugger - I thought that might be something you'd put together for your Skyline! OK - is there anyway/anyhow I can get a real rough ballpark figure for the cost of custom discs if I have OD, thickness and mounting bolt PCD for bell?

JamieP Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 You have listed KAD, they use a stock uk rear disk with a larger caliper and mounting bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Assuming about a 13 inch AP race disc, about 230 for a standard disc. Bells about 110 each for the first ones, less for more, once the CNC file is done. They would be hard anodised afyer machining. Bolts about 20 a disc. You can have floating discs for not a lot more, which would be far better on a road car upright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can probably get the bells made so there's no major problem there as long as I make them to suit the discs....Correct me if I am wrong...with a fully floating setup, the bells still have round holes for the bolts/fittings and the "float" is accomadated for in the elongated holes on the disc. Is that right? Also - I have seen a few aluminium rear bells around. Is that ok for handbrake usage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 You can have the float in the discs, or in the bells. Cheapest and most durable is in the discs. The bells then have normal round holes in them. Hard anodising helps prolong the life of the friction face in the bell, but so long as you only use the handbrake as a parking brake, and for the MOT test, and not for handbrake turns, they are fine.

dandan Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Chris - are you able to source AP discs at a sensible price? I may be after a set of CP3580-1092/1093 if the price is ok. http://apracing.com/info/products.asp?product=25%2E4mm+Thick%2D220%2E5mm+P%2EC%2ED%2E+%2D+Bolted+%2D+CP3580%2D1092%2F1093_2193_2185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I only get 10% on AP stuff myself, their trade discount is pitiful. I know someone who works at Alcon though, so do they do an equivalent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Some discs here, you'd need to carefully check the ID. http://www.racecarsdirect.com/listing/22131/Brembo_Breakdisks.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
