RX& front brakes ?

I was looking at the rx7 front disks 5 on 114.3 ford patten with 4 pot calipers .Has any one fitted the full assembly to a link pin stub ( bug )

do your own post please

I'm looking at RX8 rotors front and rear for my kombi...offset is good for making adapter plate to suit any caliper...and yeah the PCD is close too

Well I have my RX7 front twin spots & hubs now , going on the new drop link spindles when Humpty gets his shipment in .

Well I got some time today ( only just ) to have a good look at the set up on the front .

I found the outer bearing is the same id as the late RX7 20mm id , the inner will reqire a adapter to bring the shaft size up , but I can use the RX7 bearing & seal .

I will get a plate lazer cut to bolt the 4 spot caliper to .

Cost $200.00

The sud pattern is Ford 5 on 114.3

Sounds good Neil, if it all works out I wouldnt mind a plate done as well, I have balljoint however are the spindles different?

Hi Andrew , I dont have a ball joint front here to check mate , but thing I will make a few sets of each up any way .The cost to set up the lazer is the most expencive , from there its only a few $ each .I seem to be doing all the bits for cost these days , just gets every one up and going faster .

I truly think this is the best set up there is .
I will hold off for a few days as my drop spindels are coming from the usa ( are they Humpty ? )

The other set up I have is to use all these Subaru WRX & rs calipers & disks I have here .The ford ea is still best for the rear .

I post some photos soon

I be doing a plate for the super bug as well , Luke needs them .
I can not have him running into the rear of the Dragon , he will be used to the look of the rear of that car 😂

i am also following the progress on this one i also have a b/j frontend though. at the moment i just have the bigger type 3 calipers and std discs with pcd 120 x5. but wanting bigger calipers to compensate for the eb falcon rear setup which i agree is great. looking forward to seeing some pics. cheers

neil are you making the caliper bracket out of steel or alloy .how does the price compare between cnc or lazer .

Looking at it , I think it will be 5 or 6mm thick
so steel may be best

Lazer is lower in cost , but punch CNc is now on a par , seagull

I am looking at using 6061-T651 aluminium plate or 7075-T651 its about $32 per square foot .
