Kingster Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Uprights are Westfield Alloy ones. Not sure about brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 As Chris said, they're Westfields alloy upright, (made by Hi Spec), the calipers are from a Land Rover Discovery II, rears I believe. They were used briefly by the factory when recon M16's were no longer considered viable on the new supplied cars, and before the WSC branded Hi Spec fronts started to appear. Theres a thread somewhere with info on them, half a mo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryathome Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Through some 280 dia discs on and a set of Willwood midilights. They just fit in a 15 inch wheel with a few mm to spare and can stop on a button. Simply awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SXRORY Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 What do you have at the rear brakes wise? do you have two brake cylinders and a bias bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 @SXRORY I'm not sure about the bias bar? Is that the normal looking type? Discs to the rear , 1 master cylinder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discs to the rear , 1 master cylinder? I had the same problem as you when i bought mine .... going to the floor and difficult to modulate. I have two cylinders and a bias bar so the brake pedal is pushing the two (front and back) via a bar on the pedal my rears were full of air (leaky drum cylinder ) so one was going to the floor and thus making fronts difficult to put any power into. but your not set up like that, but i suspect a good fluid change and bleed thorugh you' ll be right. it was like a new car once I got the pedal back. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 @SXRORY cheers , I think when I get 5 minutes I'm going to bleed out the old gear and give this a go plus better pads before I go ££££££ on big brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
