Posting in "Chassis,Brakes,Tires,&Wheels" was for whatever reason not possible!!?? Please move if possible.
Hello folks,
The topic above was quite often discussed on the forum.
Never the less I’m trying to get some more information.
I’m not impressed with the hand brake solution in my SPF 40 (drum brake) and had already some problems with it.
My plan is to convert to a mechanical brake caliper. Criteria for the conversion are:
- Directions of caliper actuation
- Overall design and functionality
- Price
- Availability
- Applicable disc size (thickness)
- Mounting of caliper
In the posts below I will display information, which I retrieved so far about the various calipers I found.
Please comment my posts or add additional calipers.
Currently I tend to the Brembo’s but I do not have a “good” source….
The overall result of this thread could be a complete overview of mechanical calipers.
Thank in advance for all the participation.
Regards,
Markus
P.S. I hope nobody is mad with me for posting pictures from other builds / threads / posts. Thanks for displaying this information.
