Hey Scum

Have you had the volvo brakes B4 do they work well?. What model Volvo are they off.
Do you have a copy of the mountoing bracket

Cookie,
It will be very hard to tell if it fits by measuring as they actually clashed where the spokes meet the rim.

Possibly also worth mentioning for the young players that the Willwoods are not strictly street legal due to lack of dust caps.

This may help - not for a Starion but very similar.

those brakes do work very well.

Along the list of things to do is an upgrade to the brakes, but i dont think that it would involve changing discs or callipers yet.

So.... wich pads would you recommend for an upgrade?

Well if someone can get a 15" JB/JD rim to me then I can easily check.

Yes, if you look under the pics I posted I did note that any brake upgrade should be engineered approved for street use. Although I do believe you can get the Wilwoods approved as I have seen companies selling complete kits for other cars here in Australia that do utilise the Dynalite caliper.

hi cookie,

Dave, I think Im going to go another way.

Im looking at a pedal box with twin master cylinders. Going to get rid of the braker booster. What are your thoughts?

[merlin]

that would be the optimum setup, especially for competition work.
i wont go that way though, as i want a street car.
well, a trick/quick street car, ok?
if thats what u want, talk to Martin Fell at Earls.
i believe they are available over the counter.
dave.

sorry, i forgot to add, i can check clearance re a JB/JD rim next week.

[Cookiemonster]

Thanks Dave re the JB/JD wheels.

Im looking at a Wilwood pedal setup. May as well keep it in the family. :)

for those that are interested in the willwood setup,
some notes and info on the drawring that cookie posted.
one of the critical dimemsions is about 0.5mm out.
that drg was mk13, we are now up to mk17.
the error was found on the first fitup (mk13), 2 sets have been made.
later drawings fix this and slim the mtg bracket down some.
i also ditched the provision for the 3" cooling pipe,
as there is insufficiant clearance with the sway bar link.
i am now looking at a folded metal cooling duct arrangement.
the drawing original is done with Visio 2000, which prints out 1:1.
i would not trust a jpg version to print out true scale though.

Can you email that latest drawing to me please Dave?

[merlin]

sure, what format, visio or jpg?

[Cookiemonster]

JPG please.. I just need it to reference the dimensions.. it doesn't need to be to scale.

[ProZac]

could you please post that up when you get it cookie? would be an excellent reference to have.
