!Or at least lock the wheels with the weight of a sixpence on the brake pedal Car'll just carry straight on with that anchor in it !

Liam, i am with you on that, as even my book built locost with 4 pot calipers lock the front wheels up before actually slowing the car up,
and that is with out a servo and mk2 escort master cylinder

making the final fit brackets making sure everything lined up, realised rally design have given the wrong size disc, looks to be a 323mm not the 331mm it should be, not sure if both sides are wrong, will check tomorrow, spoke to rally design and they going to sort it tomorrow, lucky the car is only half a mile from their new shop , realized something was wrong when i had a 10mm overhang on the pad, inside edge of pad was spot on, outside edge finnished 10mm outside of disc.

don't think it will lock up the front to easy, will be running 255 toyo R888's and have a great big v10 weighing down on the front to keep them turning, no servo, tilton peddle box and master cylinders.

and for those that noticed the caliper upside down, useing the correct one now, lucky they were radial mounted so can be swapped side to side.

well got it sorted, now running 355mm discs, the surface area on the 330mm discs was 40mm but pads needed 50mm, had a look at the 355mm discs and they had the 50mm needed, so, as it was rally designs misinformation, they let me have the new discs for the difference in price between the 2 sizes, so £40, got to pop the 330mm discs back to them and they are sending them back to wilwood for a refund, as they had been told they fit and they obviously don't, they think it might be that the 330mm discs listed for the calipers have a different bell and disc setup thus giving the 50mm surface area needed.

well got the rear discs and calipers on her today, also got the electro magnet power wire out the diff, also got the diff sealed and ready for oil, so the running gear all sorted




this is the diff, decided to bring the wire out the breather.

Gulp - I'm scared - It's really coming to life - we might all prefer the static version that makes a hellish racket!....
