RX-7 4 piston caliper adapting bracket

[kowalski]

Actually I didn't have the orignal idea, I talked to the person who originally figured out the setup, purchased all the parts, then measured everything and verified the dimensions. And did a cad drawing of a untested and unverified bracket, and distributed it to one other member to have some brackets made so we could test them.

I find it amusing how you are willing to do a group buy over the internet for a adapter bracket that you didn't draw up yourself, measure or test. But are willing to sell at least 10 of them to fellow board members. Of course that is just my

take a look at Massive Lee's big brake kit, he did all the research himself and tested everything on his own personal car before even considering selling kits to someone else.

before making assumptions about what research i have and have not done keep your accusations to yourself. I have made a copy out of alluminum which fits onto the e30 mounting bracket, and i have a set of calipers coming in the mail next week which i am bolting up. if changes need to be made, they will be made. I did not draw the CAD drawing, i have no problems admitting to that. However a lot of the work is creating the program which actually cuts out the piece, and this is done differently for every machine and this has already been done.

massivelee makes great brakes and he's put a lot of R&D into it. I'm not copying massivelee, and this is not even on the same level as the stuff which he sells and produces. This is not a "Big Brake kit" this is an adapter for those wanting to put RX7 brakes onto their e30. I got the drawing in a pm from a fellow on m42club.com originally so i did not search around for something you created. Why did you bother PM'ing me if you were going to take this right to the GB thread?

PS: i have no problems showing pictures of the mock up fit, when i do it, when the calipers arrive.

removed pic due too member doesn't want his name public.

looks darn close.

I just want credit to got to proper place that is all.

i don't mind giving credit where its due but he prefers to remain nameless. so, if your interested join the list. I will be making some other e30 products as well after this is completed. pm me if you're serious about something you'd like that doesn't pertain to this gb.

Looks to be a simple peice, I was just going on the basis that you where using random shots, and that it had not been tested/installed, some other guy right now is blabering about a Jag style brake mod (diff mounted rotors/calipers) on the e30 for "unsprung weight" and I thought he was nutty. Looks like you have tech diagrams, farther along then his pipe dream I guess.

haha yeah... i've definitely going to have these made, I have to wait until summer to install them though because i've got my snow tires on 14"'s...

I'm in already, seriously. Pending price, I should be able to get one as soon as you have some brackets ready. Keep us updated!!! How much would shipping be roughly to Toronto?

yes, he's an engineer, and he has a CNC machine shop. I will get the grades of steel that will be used as soon as i can get a hold of him. and no, this is not a pipe dream.

thats the adapter plate, and as i said before, i will get the grade of steel he's using once i get a hold of him.

I'm more interested in pics of your "adapter" than some off the net stock shots of the parts your planning on using. I see these OE calipers and rotors all day long. I would like to see what design went into these adapters you have engineered. And what grade steel are you using? Do you have tenstile strength of the materials you plan to use? Is this just a precursory pipe dream? or, do you have it all mocked up?

Your brother have a machine shop or something?

double post...

[SchnellerVert]

Been done already. I know of a few members at other sites that have this set-up. Now as far as this bracket? I don't know if it's the same one hence why Eli asked.
