Neil_W Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 When I bought my TR7 it came with these uprated brakes, Ventilated Discs, back plates & hubs. They were not fitted to my car but in a box of spares which the previous owner was going to fit. Does anyone know what they are originally from - a Ford or Princess ? Once I know I'll be getting rid of them as I won't be fitting them. If anyone is interested PM me - they appear to be overhauled calipers as seals look new & the discs are unworn. Hubs would need new bearings to be on the safe side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) They're two pot calipers so not Princess. I couldn't say if they are TR7 but it looks like they have had sandwich plates installed to allow for the ventilated discs.

Neil_W Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 They're two pot calipers so not Princess. Ah well that narrows it down a bit - looking through flee bay they might be 2.8 Capri Vent Discs & calipers. The caliper pistons are certainly bigger than the standard ones on my TR even with only 2. Take this was a common conversion a TR7 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hi Neil, Indeed Capri 3.0/2.8 assemblies, and yes with the sandwich plates for vented discs. A simple and effective conversion that gives adequate stopping power for a decent V8 (as opposed to just the boggo TR8 lump) but which works well enough with the standard 7 master cylinder and servo. If I might put in a word for TIMS, he may well be interested in this kit if it's for sale. I'll email him ! Cheers, Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
