Dignity Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Quoting Stationary M25 Traveller: Hi-Spec 4-pot Ultralite caliper weighs 1.00kg each. Their 260 x 10mm solid disc weighs 3.465kg each. According to our kitchen scales. Did you weigh your existing ones when you removed them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The calipers were (Caterham) AP and the transter pipe was touching in that photo .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Just done the first side - what a game trying to route the new flexible hose, so it allows full steering lock and doesn't contact the tyre - the banjo fitting doesn't exit the caliper at 90 degrees but lays along the face of it. Got there in the end ! Will weigh the old bits after dinner (when Sue isn't looking !!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Having driven three long blats with the new brakes now - such a difference. Serious retardation, hugely improved confidence, and a much better feeling all round. Very happy Looking forward to IOM and Pyrenees trips even more so now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
