    PM blueapplesoda. He said he'll make them for us. Maybe you can order a batch from him to sell as an almost complete kit for the next round of brackets and rotors.

      I can contact him if anybody hasn't. I've dealt before with him and went great.

        I'm in contact with him. I just need to verify the hose length and if the ends need to be angled at all. e30polak and i will get together and verify the specs this weekend since i don't have calipers yet.

          So all that's unknown for this to work are the hoses/adapters? Put in in line for a set if these will be plug and play hoses.

            I finally found a source for the elusive adapter fitting. I ordered the minimum order of 50 fittings and should get them no later than a week from today. My guy hasnt gotten me an exact price, but I think I should be able to offer them for between $10-15 shipped for a pair.

            These have the inverted male fitting for the mazda caliper, and a bubble female for E30 brake lines.

            I'll post more details when they get here.

                          Nice to hear you sourced the fittings. I was looking at some options too from a brake catalog and had them kinda pinpointed but I'll buy them from you then.

                            I'll probably pick up 3 sets of fittings myself.

                              I got some volvo turbo line adapters but thy look like they need to be angled more. I suggest buying 2002maniacs adapters to save time and money.

                                Here's a mock up on a friends wheel and specs:
                                Cell phone pic so...yea

                                Wheels: TR motorsport c1
                                Size: 15x7
                                et:+25

                                Calipers: 93+ rx7.




                                Bottom caliper hits wheel weights:





                                overall these brakes will fit under 15s BUT you are gonna have to shave the bottom of the caliper to clear them and a smaller spacer or shave of the part of the mazda logo.
