Plan is to put a set of your 355 x 32 x 47 mustang rotors on my EL Fairmont.
Currently I run modified uprights, 330mm rotors and VY callipers (the Mr. Spares/UPC ebay big brake conversion) The wheels I want to use are steel 17" items with 380mm of room inside. (380 - 355)/2 = 12.5mm So I need a calliper that won't add more than 10mm to the diameter (or radius, depending on which way you look at it) of the rotor. Even then that only leaves 2.5mm clearance between the calliper and the inside of the rim but that should be ok given the stiffness of these wheels. Dog bones will be machined from billet to suit. What can you recommend? Cheers |

Just remembered that the 355's can be turned down. So I won't need such a tight calliper/wheel clearance. I just want a good calliper that fits very snugly over the rotor with a minimum of increased radius.
I notice that the wheel check templates on the PBR performance site recommends 2.5mm minimum clearance between calliper and rim so that's a good thing. |
