Not sure that is mounted right to be honest, as the spacer moves out a bit so I would have thought you mount it on the inside of the spacer bracket.
the braking force is proportional to the force from the caliper and the leverage from the disc, so larger disc -more leverage better braking +better heat dispersion.Limits to braking force are more from tyre adhesion then anything else once you hace sufficient leverage.I would agree, but maybe the different disk resolves this?
I've always wondered about this mod; as the braking force doesnt change does it? same caliper and carrier so the same PSI on the disk, so i suppose only the heat loss and looks? Does that sound right or am i missing something?
Great pics as ever CJJ. I have to say i do wish MGR had filled the rear out a bit.
Oh yes, I'm up for two of them:yesnod:It would be really interesting to know the measurements of that spacer block, I could feel a garden shed nock out a dozen moment coming....lol
Well ok a milling moment, but still in the shed...lol I'm sure 280mm discs are standard on some rover/MG
Pleaseeeeeeeee measure the block....lolol I'll do them at cost.....lol
Perhaps the new disc has a shallower hub drum, and the moved position of the caliper is to compensate for that?
As for the pic of the spacer, I remember a guy putting that up on .Org when he was mocking it up.......I remember because everyone was saying its mounted wrong, but he insisted it would work like that....logic still says if you put it on the other way the disc would be in more of its original position
Oh yes, I'm up for two of them:yesnod:
