2 piece AP rotors J hook versions 355x32mm with 6 piston road sealed calipers all round... Rotors are direct replacement C6 Z06 Corvette size's, seeing as I use Corvette Bearing Hub units..

Excellent. The Z06 discs are supposed to be mega!






SICOM are popular with the Porsche and Ferrari crowd and would love to represent a project like yours.

Hi Clive.

Not sure how much I am allowed to discuss on here as I dont want to flout any rules.

However, I can say this, we do have some Chevrolet compatible products which may fit your Porsche project especially if you're using the Corvette hubs already.

http://www.carbonceramicbrake.com/sicom-brakes.htm...

We also supply the AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 racing team whom Giancarlo Fisichella races for and have had excellent feedback from the customer team.

Furthermore if you decide to use ceramic discs and are worried about the cost of replacing them we can also refurbish them to matching OEM quality too! Please click on my profile for more info

Full details on below.

Do you simply replace the rotor, or do you 'print' additional material to the existing rotot and re-finish ? Curious to know how you do it being an engineer.

I'm not an engineer and it took me 10 seconds to google this

Think you should be a bit careful with that statement maybe land you in trouble ?

Wow! That's pretty cool. Would love to see one in the flesh (not a pretty car) but an absolute beast!

Wow Great thread! Best of luck with the build, facinating stuff!

The hybrid class modern WEC cars have been around a while now, and I still can't get my head around how small they are compared to the road car GT racers...

[Schermerhorn]

Wow....on TV they look massive.

Yes! These cars are positively tiny when you first see them up close and personal.
Similar to when I first saw a 917 years ago, it was about 40% smaller than I expected it to be.

[GTRCLIVE]

962 being 2m wide they might dwarf that 919 ....
