Ciekawa konwersja hamulców 256mm na 292mm

Znalazłem na corsasport.co.uk ciekawą konwersję z tarczy 256 X24 na 292 X21mm przy zastosowaniu zacisku hamulcowego z 256mm i innego jarzma:
"New Brakes...
WP Pro 292mm Brake Conversion

(Cat not included!)

The kit retains the OE 256mm Calipers, on new Carrier Brackets made by WP Pro themselves specifically for the Corsa.

The Discs are 292x21mm - Cross-Drilled and Grooved - The Discs are designed to be run 'backwards' to normal, with there being drilled vents at the end of each groove, so that hot gasses/water can be channelled into these and then dissipated through the discs normal vents and around the Hub - they look used, but the disc has been machined to ensure they are running true, and to aid with the bedding in a bit (according to the paperwork supplied with the kit)

The Pads are of a compound that WP Pro describe as being suitable for Fast Road/Light Motorsport use - So I guess they would be similar to a hybrid of EBC's Green/Red Stuff offerings,
Everything is Brand New, and got these on eBay for a bargain price compared to their RRP - I paid around 1/3 of it!
Hopefully they clear the 15" Wheels - I'm hoping to see if I can get them on this weekend, if the weather holds out...

niestety do kół 15" mu nie podeszło:
"
Standard Issue Old & New Comparison 256-292mm;

All fitted

Wheel on (It fits!);

Oh. Hang on;

Bollocks. Its just touching;

Double Bollocks;

Still, tidy looking setup, straight easy fit with no hassle atall - think the braking effort may be biased to the front a tad though...;

So... Contingency plan for clearing the brakes is underway - watch this space!

Wrzucam jako ciekawostkę i ew. pomysł dla Was na przyszłość i ew. zmianę tarcz na większe. Ja jak zmienię kiedyś koła na 16" sam będę myślał o czymś takim.
