Re: BA-FG Monoblock 4 Pot Brake Upgrade

Hi Brett,
Just got to thinking, since these brakes require new wheels for most customers, is there any chance you could do a kit that uses the big discs but a conventional two piston caliper? There would probably be a bit of a market since lots of people don't want to replace their wheels and the main problem is often fade or warping rather than inadequate braking power in usual situations. Using an FG turbo with 320 mm rotors, so 280 mm working diameter, going up to 355 would still give about more than 10 % extra torque at working diameter of 315 mm, fill up the wheels nicely, and never overheat.... Only difficult part would seem to be sourcing a caliper that is available locally (ideally) that will fit over a 32 mm disc, given PBR C6's are hard to come by, but if one could be found quite a few people might be interested, me included. UPC in Bayswater seem to use a modified VE Commodore Caliper on a 32 mm disc, not sure what they to do achieve this, but at any rate not offering it for VE V8s of Hipo Fords...

Matt
