Anyone know if these would fit a wedge.

Hi Leigh, those calipers look identical apart from the logo to the WMS ones that I have recently fitted, even the pads (Willwood type) look the same.
P.S they work great too!

Was looking for a friend,

But he now want's AP the same as the race car.

So they open for anyone to bid on, without getting in a bidding war with me.

Im not convinced about the claim that billet calipers are superior to forged.

The forging process instills a small amount of compressive set into the material: i.e. compressive stress, which offsets the tensile stresses encountered within the caliper body upon braking.

Also, forging causes the shape of the metal to change by making the grain flow, rather than cutting through the grain structure like machining does.

Thats why your spanners say "drop forged", not "CNC machined".

maybe,

But billet Ali is going to be better than cast steel in unsprung weight. and looks

The ap kit is nice but going to set you back something like 1200 bear token....
