Does any one have the dimensions of the brackets that come with the Tarox big rear brake conversion ?

Reason I ask is we have a new high tech laser cutter in work and I wanted to see if I could copy them.

I assume they are made from alloy ? We only cut steel in work but I cant see there be much difference apart from weight.

I have the entire tarrox rear brake kit here in my garage.

If you give me till tomorrow then I can measure the brackets and post pics for you.

I think they are annodised alloy brackets,but I could be wrong.

Hope this helps in some way.

What are you planning on doing for discs Adam? Proper tarox ones, and alternative 2 piece kit or some other discs tedrilled (with the same offset)

Thats great,thanks for that

Nobby, Not too sure yet, I'll get the brackets sorted first then go from there.

Oh,and the brackets are made of billet alloy and annodised black too.

I have just got to say what an amazing stroke of luck you've had here Taffy

It's not everyday you put in a request for a rare uprated item and someone chirps up with "I have the entire...kit here in my garage [stil in its original packaging and as clean as the day it was born].

Just struck me as quite the bit of Xmas magic.

I totally agree, just goes to show that the forum is full of nice, helpful people

Well,you guys have been very good and helpfull to me since I joined this forum.

So Im just trying to be helpfull back in return.

Im going to see my engine builder tomorrow,so I will take the bracket with me and double check the measurements with a digital calibration measuring tool in the garage.

Tar-ox do seem to have a set of split frontdisc's too in the Coupe dimensions (305x28mm)..
Has anyone bought these or got an answer from tarox about them? They won't answer me at all.

Tarrox dont really talk directly to a customer.

Thats my experience of them.

one would wonder why they have a place for questions at all.

Ok I'm on the case with the swedish distrubutor.. Split front disc's coming up...?
I'm afraid it gets pricey. On the other hand you only have to change the actual disc (not the hub) when it's worn out.
Sorry for the OT.

Taffy20vt if you can make up a kit then I'd be up for a set to.

Ive looked into this and the 300mm solid disks are really expensive. The Tarox ones are £400

So im now looking at changing the caliper and using a vented disk on the rear. Unsure on size at the moment but im going for as close to 300mm as I can.

This was looked into a while ago Taffy, the Seat Leon Cupra R or any of the golf Gti rear calipers are the same handbrake setup as the coupe but run a vented disk so would be easier to adapt to a larger disk, possibly a coupe 20v N/A front disk to keep the 4x98 hole configuration.

Thanks for the info Jimbo, I have a set of Cupra calipers on the way. I'll probably go for the 20v front disk as I dont think the 20vt disk will fit under 16" wheels.
