GSKTR4 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I need to revert to ungrooved dics and standard type calipers for the ROTT and HRCR events next year - any suggestions about the best set-up - I still have my original discs/calipers (the early type). Should I use them or get something uprated but legal? cheers Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhowe3 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Andy, Suggest you use Revingtons Australian Discs, he swears by them and says some circuit racing tvrs are using them. For extra money he will heat treat them. Jim Howe, car no 50, Targa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was good to meet you on the Targa I'm already using some "Australian" discs from Neil, but they are gooved, presume the ones you are talking about are the same but ungrooved? Can I use standard calipers with them, with EBC GreenStuff pads maybe? Will that be legal for the HRCR championship events? Thanks for the info, Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhowe3 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Andy, Thanks for the welcome. It is good to be here with all the other TRactors. I understand from Neil that he does the same discs in a non grooved form. The standard caliper can also be used with pads of your choice. This has been confirmed as a legal set up by Mr Paul Loveridge. I havent ordered any yet but will be along with the dual braking conversion. Jim Howe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GSKTR4 Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Thanks for that Jim - I've spoken to my man at AMK Engineering who's rebuilding the suspension and brakes and his opinion is that the standard discs are adequate on a rally car, as opposed to a circuit car - the cryogenic treatment makes them last longer, which would be more important under racing conditions with very abrasive pads. Anyone want to buy an almost new pair of 4-pot calipers and gooved discs? Fit all TR's to TR6 I'm informed Cheers Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JRCWeedon Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 How much do you want for them? I really only need the calipers but I assume you would not want to split them from the discs. Regards John (mobile 07900 881814) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
