I have just had some news from the firm, yesterday. Some bad, some good, some not so good!


The original supplier of parts has fallen by the wayside.

The firm I am dealing with have managed, now, to get an alternate supplier who has agreed to manufacture and supply callipers and rotors.

But, It looks as though the price will be higher than I'd hoped.

However, it seems that the callipers and rotors are of better quality than the previous supplier.

I will update you as I get more information. Hopefully soon.

higher price wouldn't put me off personally, i'm hoping for more info soon on these. my project is forge (hint) ing ahead and breaks are going to be what holds me up (no pun intended!) lol

The first fronts are ready for initial testing, the rears are being test fitted by the supplier to a car they have.

Excellent news - can hardly wait

A gentle bump, any news on the brakes? The edge of this seat is getting uncomfortable

Encouraging noises are being made by the company and I hope to have more definite news soon.
ps I know what you mean about seat edges. I'm suffering cramp in most unusual places!

David I will be interested in the rear upgrade whenever it's ready!

Yes , I believe the company expect a lot of interest from those who already have the AP fronts.

Any pictures of the kits yet David?

My TF is SORN at the moment (driving around in PANDA - my project MGF!), and with the rear hubs off etc its crunch time soon...

1. This brake kit
OR
2. New slotted / drilled discs, mintex 1144's / Greenstuff, braided hoses and refurbed calipers.

I'll ask!

A gentle nudge in hopes of pics of those brakes? Or better still pricing and availability!

The present position, is that the callipers are being produced as we type. They will soon be with the company and then fitted to my vehicle. I'm as keen as anyone to see this come to fruition.
As soon as that happens I will post as much as I can,(promise) but I am afraid I'm not authorised to post photos or any more details at present.
