Thread: Where is that disc brake

there was a few of us he gaves us a great discount but we just couldn't get the frieght down........

I think there was 12 poss 14 from memory...Simon also said he ws going to try another avenue but never got back to me. So I didn't hassle him as I just figured it was getting to hard to work out

Coming in late here, but..
There are disc h'brake kits manuactured locally for hilux etc. Has anyone here compared them or made enquiries about a LR version?
Dave.

Please see what you can do?

Perhaps price for one, five, ten or more etc then we can work out the freight details and put it up as a purchase from here.

If not I may contact rrturboD who lives down the road from Mr Rudd

Regards,
PeterW

Peter,
Ok I'll have a word. Can I assume they should all be freighted to Townsville for you to distribute from there?

It may take me a few days but let me know on above...

I suggest that the cheapest port city in Australia is where the freight should be sent. I don't think I am going out on a limb to say that aulro would have members in all our port cities that handle freight. Distribution from there on would be for the aulroians.

If it come to Melb I'll put my hand up to distrubute from there.

I have 2 of the X-Eng disc brakes.

I believe it is safe to say there is no other mechanical caliper that compares to what Simon uses. That is why I wouldn't settle for any other.

The brake discs are simple laser cut plate that could easily be made locally in whatever numbers required. I could provide all necessary details, or file for profile cutter for the disc.

Kits without the disc would save a good amount of weight and reduce the package size, and should reduce shipping cost.

And I did talk to Simon about this prospect but wasn't forth coming as it is omethng he is planning on doing in the future...So I'm guessing he wont be up for it.

I'm pleased if this goes ahead BUT can I just say I DID TRY TO GET THIS DONE...but we kept having things thrown in the way certain people wouldn't buy if it was over a price, which it was with freight. That is fair enough but that kept dropping numbers below the bulk discount price hence why we kept trying to get quotes form different freight companies and trying to think of ways also to get it in without import tax to keep cost down...we just didn't seem to be able to work it.

If you do work it we would be in for a unit providing they are a good price like what I was going ot be getting them for originally.
