Default Re: BA-FG Monoblock 4 Pot Brake Upgrade

Hi Brett,

I know you are getting bombarded with questions atm haha but here is another one

How is wheel clearance diameter wise with the new caliper over the Brembo 4 pot? I have Enkei RPF1 18" rims and I am worried about wheel clearance, there is prob 4mm clearance right now with the Brembo 4 pot.

Cheers
Dave

This may or may not help as you have 18's but I have the stock FPV 19" rims and I've just gone out and measured, there is 16mm clearance from the closest part of the caliper to the inside circumference of the wheel.

Hey Dave,
Natedog may be some help with the info he has just supplied, and we will have to wait until we get the brakes back to confirm for you. Can you give us the ID of the rim so we can do a clearance check? We will try and get them back soon but may be a little bit of a challenge as the test driver (natedog) seems to be having too much fun!!
Cheers

Hey Dave,

If you can measure the distance from the centre of your wheel to the inner circumference of the wheel as accurately as possible I can do the same and it might help?

Or I can drive up to Sydney to show them to you....is that cool Brett??

We will now be getting a supply of Goodridge braided brake lines from Howard Reynold's Race Brakes which are ADR approved for our Ford brake upgrades. Howard has so many years of experience. He even supported me in the early 90's when I was tearing up the tracks around Victoria!!
