    wilwoods

    Ok right i have been reading the various posts over time on these brakes...
    so i have the following questions

    if you have a set of wilwood calipers, do they use standard discs and pads or do you have to get bigger uprated jobs.

    Mounting brackets they dont fit on standard so where do you get them from(have seen yozzasport named a few times) or has anyone got any specs for making them :D

    Hoses, due to the longer length needed im guessing i would need longer hoses then the standard good rich jobs i have, anyone have specs and length ect or where to get premade ones thanks :D

    my wilwoods fit std size discs, and yes you need a mounting bracket made up, i got mine as a kit nearly 2 year ago from mark ritchspeed

    yes the hoses also need to be 2inch longer and obviously have the correct fitting for the calipers themselfs

    northy had a set made up to fit williams hubs but runs 285mm discs, dont think he has ever fitted them tbh!

    yoz can sort you out with brackets but you would have to talk to him and fred about that

    if someone would like brackets i don't mind removing one and taking it somewhere to be priced up as the hybrid isn't my main car so it can be off the road for a while

    anyone know what the length is and clio side fitting, then its just a case of having some made or find exsisting ones

    1.38/35.1mm bore, 1.00 / 25.4 discs width is the dimensions/settings for the calipers themselves
