Red rosé brakes

[wongthecorrupter]

I thinkI I'm correct in thinking the Tuscan red rosé brakes came with alloy bells and bolt on rotors,if so any ideas where to purchase a set

[Toady1]

Yes you are correct, but I don't think you can buy just the discs anymore. You could try somewhere like Reyland. But I think the latest 322mm solid discs are the replacement for them, and you'll also need some wheel spacers iirc but someone else might confirm this.

thanks mate,gutted for you i see your car is up for sale.My car is a red rose but it hasn,t got the ally bells and rotors.I know reyland as i have owned a fair few cosworths over the years

We have one piece 330mm discs in around a months time.

Be interested in some details when you have them Brummie. About to upgrade to the 322mm S ones, but could be interested in an alternative.

there is a big weight difference

Sure, they are direct replacements, we have had them done with slots, not drilled holes as i am sure some of you have now discovered they crack.
Holes also reduce thermal capacity of a brake system as you have filled it full of, well...holes!
It will just be a case of spacing the caliper out 4mm (we will supply water cut spacers) or more for smaller disc cars. The AP CP6600 caliper takes a 330mm disc so why go smaller? You get increased leverage and more thermal capacity.
We had the rears made for Cerberas as the other brands pricing was a P take, i got those out at almost half the cost.
These are those after a few miles and a track day with CL RC6 full race compound pads, no noticeable wear yet at all.

Good work that man!!...

any chance of machining a radial groove if not too late?

Hi, i have spec'd the same as per the Cerbera rears in the image.
We are looking at possibly replicating the whole range including the rears, if there is a demand.
I see you are on bells, where as the ones we have in production are one piece vented, like i say a direct replacement for the original.

I will only supply spacer kits not adapters, but that will be a fairly simple operation.
You need something made up to bolt from the upright, does the Tuscan one fit?

Yes I did put it up for sale end of last week after peer pressure from the mrs and parents to provide my 'whole family' with a decent fun car and not just myself and my son! ha ha! But after spending loads on it this year to get it as good as it now is....I'm not too sure I should bother and just be a selfish sod! ha ha ha!

I am in the same predicament. Was this ever solved?

TVR Parts lists a bracket/adapter for bolting the 'old' calipers to the 'new' style Cerbera/Tuscan uprights (TVR J0733), but not the other way around... However, an alternative would be to get a new pair of uprights - less expensive than you'd think and they're meant to be stronger, too...

Also, the 2-piece 322 mm discs with alloy bells are in Tarox' Bespoke discs programme. They're expensive but the quality is top notch, and they knock off a couple of kg of unsprung weight per corner.

Just called Tarox, as I'm in the process of changing my front discs on the Tuscan, the price for a 2-piece front disc set as on TVR Cerebra (and I presume these are the same as the Red Rose) is 659,- Pounds ex. VAT.

I'm afraid that if I go for the 322 / 330 solid discs they will buckle once again. I won't have this problem with a 2 piece set-up and next to that the 2-piece is a big saving on unsprung weight. But is it worth the 400 Pounds extra...?

Mmmmhhh... at the current exchange rate you might want to consider sourcing them in The Netherlands, as the retail price is 779,- euro ex VAT here IIRC.

That's probably because the dealer margin for them is 1/5th that of the dics in their regular program (which aren't exactly high margin products either), then. :/ Part number for them is S2-2004; indeed they only list 'Cerbera '96-03' as the application which of course isn't entirely correct.

I had juddering under braking on my Red Rose a few years ago. I had the front drag strut arm bushes replaced which solved the problem. Common on the Cerbera's with the same brakes. I had the polyurethane bushes fitted:

Our 322/330's no one has warped a set yet, two piece set up is More fragile as they have a big hole in, and that's filled with a soft centre...
