Fitted some new brakes to the wedge. I used Tuscan calipers, so a proper TVR upgrade.

Discs are 291mm from a Tuscan as they told me. I had to fabricate just the round adapters you can see in the picture and drill new holes in the disc flange. For the calipers i fabricated some aluminium brackets that is all. All thät fits into the standard 15`wheels.
Brake feel is much improved. But i did just some road driving jet, will see how they work on the track. As there is less force on the pedal needed with the four pots, the flexing of the panel where the pedal bos is mounted is reduced as well. Now it feels like proper "sports car" brakes.

@Andy

I shortened the links on my antirollbar to make it harder. Thats why I needed to make some special end pieces to mount the drop links, wich are actually only one male and one female rod ends put together. But it works fine.
