Brakes

ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-STAG-UPRATED-BRAKE-KIT-WILWOOD-CAL… Anyone attempted something like the above locally? I know there are local firms that will do this but I would be curious to see what ‘off the shelf’ new (or used) ‘parts’ could be put together (along with a mounting bracket), for an upgrade of this calibre for self installation? I did start to replicate and collect all the parts for a similar front setup to the Monarch Stag monarch-stags.co.uk/brakes aluminium/4 pot calibre ventilated disc set offering. Just needed to buy the machined bracket that attaches the calliper on the original hub from Monarch if they were prepared to sell it on its own. I did have a discussion with them and they were a bit reluctant which I totally understand. I was going to get one made up locally but decided against it in the end as I finally changed my mind and wanted to keep the original wheels. Also I like the idea of ditching the drums in the rear ..

That’s great info Bruce on the brakes. Very interesting too that the Willwood calliper only has a similar size pad to standard, definitely better looking with far more bragging rights though! I would be interested in a spacer for the original callipers for sure with the 2005 MX 5 turbo vented rotor. The Monarch front ‘Aluminium’ setup is a similar concept; machining and redrilling a BMW E30 rotor with a Mazda RX7 Turbo 4 pot calliper both of which I have bought and done, with parts just sitting in the garage, but as mentioned in the end decided to keep the standard wheels and tyre sizes.
