Ball park me a weight and I'll do some legwork. (it'll probably be going onto a sII bulkhead)

    I'll need you to do info push on this one for me as I've a lot on my plate atm but you've just nailed the sales on the first 2 kits you produce (exact specs to be outlined but at this stage Its looking like everything).
    Great news Dave, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
    Let me know when you have finally decided on exact requirements.
    Also, what size tyres do intend running? (just thinking that 33's or 35's may be more efficient with a 9 inch dual booster)

    Standard size, but then I may also be sticking on 16x9s from a 101, that just hasnt been planned in as of yet.

    for my kit. Give it all the berries, Im after the kind of brakes that if I stomp em hard enough seismologists in fukashima get nervous jitters. I'll probably never use them and people will call me an idiot when 40 years from now alex has to replace the rotors as they've rusted away But I like the idea of having planet mauling levels of brake torque available.

    If the front seat passenger doesn't have their nose pressed up against the inside of the windscreen with a very surprised look on their face, when you hit the brakes hard, then the braking system is not up to scratch in my opinion.

    Nup. I refuse to move any car I'm driving until everyone in the car is buckled up. No exceptions. I recently had a group of American visitors I ended chauffeuring around for work. Got very antsy when I explained the road rules. It was a case of "I don't care whether you are interested in testing whether your skull or the windscreen is toughest in the event of an accident, I have no desire for you to exit via the windscreen at 100kph having smacked me in the back of the head first".

    Update on conversion kits

    The first batch of kits are almost ready.
    A heavy duty kit is also available. This includes drilled & slotted rotors and ceramic pads. If you want anti-fade braking, this is the way to go. The pads operate at up 800 degrees C so a suitable brake fluid is required. Pedal pressure is slightly higher when cold, although still quite acceptable and keeping in balance with other controls.























    Any questions feel free to ask, or PM me.

    Assuming you haven't already got these Dave, if you can wait until next time Cookey's around Tweed Heads, I can meet him & then drop them off to you next time I head towards Ipswich. It sounds like a good excuse to come & get that coffee you offered.
