I really love them... but its the no one can just send me the correct adapter/mount bracket as they say TVR made so many hubs etc and its not a simple swap bla bla bla... then they want me to do all the leg work. just getting bored of it really frown
Just contact Brummmie and he'll sort you out, guaranteed

Thanks Vee but been speaking with him and it's pretty much same thing. The brackets pose a real issue, he supplies all my pads and the best bit is my current CLs will go on the hi spec, not new but less than 4K miles I think I'll get away with?

Is that because you are trying to fit 350mm discs? My 330mm discs supplied by Brummmie came with adaptors to fit. I just measured the gap I needed and Brummmie sorted the right spacer.

No apparently it's differences in caliper. I am going from the CP5200 and wanted to put theCP6600 on but apart from the mount centres being different so are the offsets etc? Brummie hasn't told me he has the correct adapter... Spacing isn't the issue.

close but I'm at a loss with the CP6600s mate... the funniest thing is many brake suppliers want me to do all the leg work (even supply vary wheel hubs etc) so they get all knowledge then charge me for it??? NOT Brummie but some others

Im gonna go HiSpec (Tried and tested)

Ahh yes that's why I swapped my cp5200 4 bolt for cp5200 6 bolt versions so it was a simple swap as the cp6600 have different bolt centres

Shame as they look amazing in red. What was the hub issue?
Finally some good news and a solution. Power can make the required bracket for the CP6600 to fit my car so I'm glad they never sold wink

I now have some red SS braided hoses and 2 piece 350x30 bulk bells & curved grooves to fit at this months 12k service only thing now is I pray my 18" SP12s can accommodate the large discs as the are huge!

Can't wait to see if me having the grooves to the edge makes a difference as I hear that keeping air pressure consistent is a winner. Of and AP pads for now when it's time to change CL all the way.

Glad you got it sorted. Powers are good at doing stuff that others cant / wont do. They with Andy at APM offered to step in when I had engine issues and to cut me a cracking deal on a 4.7 engine. No idea whether the 350 discs will have enough clearance. I suspect they will be fine. I find my 330s ample braking. I can stamp on them and dont worry about them being too powerful. They are just right.

4.7 AJP? they did an awesome standard S6 build for my dads problem car that no-one else could sort all they did was charge lots for temporary fixes to keep it going (with problems for 50 miles). Since build his car has never been better!

Now they are the only ones he and I use... apart from Topcats who are a fantastic bunch and I have a lot of time for but being an S6 lover Power are the Truth!

Yes 4.7 AJP - as it happens I didn't need to take up their offer as my 4.5 ended up being fixed and returned (and is now up there with the best of the 4.5's).

So car dropped at Power yesterday, some humming and arching over the brakes solution. The Sag/Tuscan later uprights orderd so the CP6600s should fit direct. after offering up against inside of the wheel there is space inside the 18'SP12s to go bigger still.

But the discs will look like attached pics so now just finally need my red bad boys fitted!



Curved groove taken out to the edge to keep the air pressure consistent.

The new uprights look the business but while dropping in at Power I got to see the calliper connected with the larger 350 discs.

I can't wait!



Oh and I'll have a set of original Cerbera uprights for any Projects upcoming wink
