I am looking at fitting rear Wilwood calipers but will need a handbrake, I know there is a Corvette caliper (think it is a superlite 4 pot) but I think this uses a drum type mechanism but not sure? What I want is a 4 pot (or 6 if available) with an integral hand brake mechanism avoiding any drum type mechanism - just a disc, hat and caliper? Any body got any recommendations of what is the best Wilwood item to use?

Best Regards

Phone 01304 219977 and speak to H - he'll be able to help you (I'm not associated with the company other than as an extremely happy customer!)

If you put the number into Google it finds Ashford Motorsport in Dover Kent.

Ultima use AP Racing main calipers but use a small mechanical caliper by Brembo for the hand brake.

Wilwood do a 4-pot rear caliper with handbrake mechanism:

No idea how effective it is but it's a separate mechanical system so will pass MOT I believe.

Cheers,

Whoops sorry I should of said it's the number for Ashford Motorsport, H is the owner and knows entirely too much about Wilwood brake technology.
