Fitting Tuscan ap calipers to a griff.

[roseytvr]

I have access to a set of cp660 ap calipers. Does anyone know what discs and brackets I need to fit them?
Thanks

were you the successful ebayer 30 mins ago???

[leerdam23]

Not successful.....no, but lighter weight brakes are still my goal. To be honest I'm not sure I'm looking for more disc, but finding a way of lightening the calipers would defo help unsprung weight and thus everythjng else. The AP calipers are much lighter than the granada 888 and hopefully also the 260mm ATE ford ones on my Griff. Do you know what the AP cp 660 weigh each? The website says about 3kg each plus pads. Not sure thats actually much less than the standard 260 brakes.

Any Ideas?

Depends on your wheel size, I still use my 15" esterals with r888 and my 17" with t1r'r for the winter, so I have 283mm std cosworth discs, but if I stuck with 17s I could go 300-325mm discs, you will still need a custom made adaptor bracket for the calipers whichever size disc u go with...Willow Sportscars or TVRSW to name but two can supply the adaptor brackets for you.

ah, the 283mm sound about right. I would like to keep my Oz split rims, they look so good.....

I have Tuscan calipers with 304x28 mm discs. The set up was supplied as a kit, including brackets, by Hans (PH username hansdaal) in Holland. I've got 17" SP12's on the front at the moment but they also fit behind 16" Estoril's.



Brackets look like this



Might be worth contacting Hans, he'll know exactly what you need and will likely be able to supply the bits.

how wide are the Griff TVR spindle mounting points hart to hart?
and how do they look like, picture?

Sorry, I don't believe that at all .....

The Griff uses the same spindle? as the Chimaera?

if so, here is a Chimaera spindle (found here on PH) and that AP caliper has 152mm mounting dimensions, what are the dimmensions of the mountingpoints on the spindle?
