All's going really well with the update of my Wedge.............until.........I called Tower View this week to order an updated brake kit and roll cage/bar.
Brakes are on 2 month lead time (at least) and roll bar is 6 weeks.
I've just started to strip out the front suspension to fit new coils/shox/bushes/drop links and want to do the brakes while I'm there. Also want to do all the fitting of roll bar before new carpets and interior go in. This now holds up my plans completely as I wanted to get everything finished, and tested, for Le Mans and BBWF

So, does anyone know anywhere else I can source an uprated brake system (mine are standard at the mo) and a Roll bar (I don't want to lose my head if she flips!!)

We have HiSpec brakes on our 400SE, I suspect that is what Towerview supply though. What brakes have you got on yours already? The 4 pot APs with vented disks work pretty well, the sliding caliper jobbies work OK too, just not so many times before they overheat.
Have been trying for nearly a year to get AP, none available! I've currently got standard Cortina which are cr*p, considering I'm looking at a 300+BHP engine!

SORTED! I think. HiSpec have quoted me £689.04 inc V.A.T. for THIS. On a 3-5 week delivery. Seems an extremely complete kit! woohoodriving
