Default Rear Brakes

Frustrated by the lack of new items available for the rear of the 4x4 vehicles and most of the reconn'd items being useless we have specially comissioned a run of brand new o/e type items to be made

The first alloy casting has been made, obviously still needs all the internal drillings doing plus pistons / seals and h/b mechanism fitting etc but they are being worked on in the work shop now.

Finally coming together






We are also working on a small individual single pot h/b caliper that will better the useless other options, to allow a 4 pot monster to be fitted on the rear and still pass MOT rules Watch this space

Already done some trial fittings Kelv, time scale depends on a few factors still being resolved/worked on.

4 - 6 weeks maybe ??
