    ^^^ Joel, I drew them from scratch too, and sent them to Twinky.

    Patenting FTW though.

    My GF does Patents and Copyrights, I can hook you up.

    As long as I can keep my brackets.

    Still havn't got the R32 master installed, there is more work required than just bolt-on and has not been off road for long enough.

    Spend a day at Mt Cotton doing an advanced car control driving course, and the brakes were friggin awesome.

    I was stopping with ease where some people with ABS were struggling, they have pretty good bite.

    Will probably install it one day, and see how it goes.

    Good work Oly,

    I am still in the process of getting all the bits together but I was JUST about to order the rotors but I am going to use the Mini Cooper S rotors but the bracket I have are the ones made in Japan.

    Anyone know if you can use the Mini rotors on this type of bracket or do I have to use the EG rotors?

    I was not sure about the disk thicknesses or offsets.

    Thanks,

    Blake

    I have done a complete mockup with the mini cooper S rotor and Jap Yahoo brackets.

    I had to mill approx 2mm off one surface of the caliper mount to centralize the rotor and also machines about 1-2mmoff the overall dia of the RDA rotor so as not to rub on the inside surface of the caliper.

    Hope this helps

    Cheers

    hey just some quick questions

    how much would *I* be looking at for getting the adapter plate CNC machined by some1 300? instead of buying off some1

    also is $300 for a a pair of FC calipers a good price? also the guy said something about these being better/special-er because of something like theyr off a aus FC or something?

    cheers

    $300 would be ok, provided they are in great condition and don't require a rebuild.

    Cheap places to look are Mazda forums, or Ebay for example. I got mine of Ebay US and were only $135 AUS Delivered (y) Just had to stay up till 2am to steal the auction

    As for brackets, from what people say, it is not easy to walk into a machine shop and have them make one set of brackets cheaply. The setup cost makes it $500 + hence why ppl are getting many sets made up at once to lower the price.

    If you can wait a few more months, I think there will be some people offering bracket sets or even complete bolt-on kits for reasonable money.

    There is a guy on ebay that sells the whole set up from time to time I think $1300 with coilovers and the barkes. Probly a pretty good deal if you cant make them yourself. These calipers are pretty expensive to rebuild for some reason too, so if you get a set make sure they are in reasonable condition or you could be up for an expensive rebuild!
