Don't know if Rene has posted this already? After noticing on his lovely CS that he had AP brakes I couldn't help but enquire further
After discussing it with Rene I found out he got AP to make him a custom set of brakes. Unfortunately for me, his kit was specific to 17" rims....arse. Having talked to Pete at AP about this and printing the template off, I discovered that the 330mm 17" wheel kit was just slightly too big for my 16" roulettes....Dam. it was only the front corner of the caliper that hit the rim as well, the rest fit in no worries
So, plan B, ask AP to make me another set to suit my 16" wheels. AP do a 315mm rotar that would have fitted onto the same bells Rene's kit used. But on Pete's advice, he recommended I stick with the 32mm wide disc, which isn't available on the 315 diameter. They only come from AP in 315x28mm. The 32mm ones are special heavy duty ones and very expensive because they are produced in very low volumes. Pete recommended the 304x32mm rotor, using the same 6 pot AP calipiers in Rene's kit. Because this rotor uses a different PCD, I would in fact have to have custom bells made after all to suit.
So, now onto Carrie at BG developments. A few phone calls and e-mails later and the kit is in production
I hope to have it within about 3 weeks, but carrie did say it could take upto 8 weeks...
Can't wait to get these bad boys on, just about give me time to rip out the ABS from the 165. Which, as any 165 owner will tell you, is in thee most stupid location under the back seat.
