Ding Dong!! Come on I had to! They are the bit that the rotors(actual disc) bolt to on a two piece disc setup. Most are semi-floating too!

How much lighter are they ?

Will really depend on the size of the disc and material used for the Bell - DBA quote 2KG per disc (on my 365mm DBA 5000's) as the bell is made from one piece of "Alumalite" made from 6061-T6 aero grade aluminium.


(I think Col is looking machining up Bells to match discs available form dba, AP etc.)
