| Re: Anybody recognize these brakes ? Wish I could help you Johan.. The rears look familiar but the fronts are another matter. Have you tried posing your question on the Cobra forums? FFCobra.com Welcome to Club Cobra...The world's largest non-biased Cobra site! - Club Cobra

| Re: Anybody recognize these brakes ? Look pretty similar to the AP brakes that are used on Rover SD1 Austin Princess and others Ian

| Re: Anybody recognize these brakes ? Johan: That clip on the front looks like AP. If the are AP the should have some numbers etched on the castings some place on the underside or near the bores. AP numbers always begin with CP and then a series of 4 numbers and a dash followed by numbers and letters. Feel free to ask will help if I can. Dave

| Re: Anybody recognize these brakes ? Purely a guess on the rotors---Jaguar. but why? wear doesnt seem to be too bad. Is the Cobra an Autocraft Mk IV.

| Re: Anybody recognize these brakes ? The fronts are not Princess Calipers, I have a set of those in the junk box and just had a look, the princess calipers have 2 hydraulic hose entrys and the bleed nipples are between the pistons. They could be Jaguar as JacMac suggested, as the Jag IRS had solid rear discs. The other thing the rears could be is Renault 5 or Fiat 12x series as they too had solid discs.

| Re: Anybody recognize these brakes ? Bespoke Autokraft rotors, see Steve at Brooklands for spares. The calipers are BMW/ATE front and Puegot rear.

| Re: Anybody recognize these brakes ? Front calibers looks very much 2wd cossie ones, but they are propably from bimmer (in -87 M6 i saw those when i built one), there is small diffirencies in caliber casting. Self locking pad rods and squeel spring are similare as cossies.
