You pay for what you get, I have a set of Reylands and the quality is great, you have to get them done in the right size to match you calipers and brackets

Are you going to make them yourself?

Money well spent fella is deffo on the proper kit when it comes to stopping your motor. At least you know they will be right.

BG Developments can make you anything you need. And very sensible prices too. Although custom parts will certainly take longer than buying from someone who has them sitting in the shelf.

i know martoon isnt exactly cheap but then his workmanship is 110% .... but then who is cheap nowdays .. i bet genuine ap bells would be alot more and i doubt they would adjust them if you needed a bit skimmed etc off to move the disc around in your available space...
i would not hesitate in getting brakes from martin after his last quote he gave me .. was alot cheaper than the rest and better value for mone from the knob who makes discs and bells that fail......

Bell price would largely be based on diameter and thickness/offset.

FWIW my bells are pretty flat same as a 4x4 Cossie and cost around £100 each. Which is a fair price.

martin had my custom bells and brackets made ready for me on the wednesday after i took the car up on the saturday to get measured up

can't fault the service or fitment, after 20+ years of experiments by me on my wide range of cars it's all come down to doing it once, and doing it right
