why not use all 4 bolt holes?
Water cutter is slow.
Don't like how there's almost no material around bolt holes. It does however locate on the inner face.
Gonna stick to mounting off the front face.
why not use all 4 bolt holes?
Has anybody thought of using 1 x r31 caliper for handbrake and 1 x vs commodore caliper for hyd handbrake? They both have the same mounting dimensions and the only difference is the handbrake setup??
There's a diff tube in the way. The front piece (thick) uses all 4 holes since it mounts from the front. The rear piece (thin) was a try at mounting the calipers from behind the axle tube flange.
Kinda hard to understand in my stick man picture head so I take that as a yes?? Lol
How good is a single piston sliding caliper going to perform (and look)? Could do the same with S13 calipers by removing the handbrake mechanism off the caliper but it won't work as good as a R/Z chassis 2 piston caliper.
oh, previous post was in reply to Clay's post, not yours.
I would think the pad surface between the 2 variants would cancel out the extra piston don't you think? And can you buy brand new 2 spot calipers anywhere?....just a though
you can get calipers from wilwood new.
I could give it a go but I don't think it's going to work. You could give it a go if you wanted to. It'll only take me like half an hour playing aorund on the computer to do twin s13 calipers. If it doesn't work then you just bolt on r/z-chassis stuff but you lose the handbrake mechanism.
I'll just leave my stuff mounting off the front and do the R33 rear/wilwood combo. Might do R33 + FC/rx8 rear caliper if I can get ahold of one.
I was Toying with the idea as I can get them through work brand-new, I just wanted someone else to do the brackets so it was easier lol.
Do you know the mounting hole PCD and bolt spacing? Is it same as r32? There's an article on R31club or something showing available brake upgrades for them. If it's the same as R32 it'll be like 3.5" or something. I have the measurements on the CAD computer. It'd be easy to draw up.
