Oulton park tommorow

[theredbaron]

Off to Oulton tommorow to try my DIY brake upgrade, any one else going ?

[melv]

Not if your brake upgrade is DIY!!!

It's not that bad melv ! Honest ! Just some alloy spacers made for the calipers so I can fit bigger discs.

[BertBert]

did that involve splitting the calipers and putting them back together?

[theredbaron]

No bert, nothing as drastic. Just a spacing plate and marine spec longer bolts to fit between the caliper and the hub assembly. I now have 350mm discs instead of 330mm. From 996tt to 997tt discs basically.

I'm pretty sure you cpuld of used the 997 turbo bolts (set screws if we are being pedantic - this is P/H's) as they are longer.

I did it once on a (ahem) subaru to fit fatter disks. I was terrified, but I didn't die!
