NASCAR looks to use the typical brands, Alcon, AP, Wilwood, Brembo. I mention nascar because the team take offs are often quite new and a great price.@ Lenny - what is the name of such a brake system?
On the subject of brakes.
The front caliper is in a trailing position but what about the rear?
Looking at various images of the SGT cars it looks like PaulBav has got them trailing but the Keith Baker car has them leading!
In theory I would agree. However .......Yebbut....imagine if PaulBav removed the entire upright & brake assembly and moved it to the opposite side of the car. The caliper would then be in the leading position, but still correctly-orientated with bleed nipple at the top. Granted, the handbrake cable would need to be longer and routed differently, but other than that it's still a viable option. I think these cast uprights have lugs cast-in for mounting the calipers on either side (in other words, the uprights aren't "handed" for left or right).
In theory I would agree. However .......
The AP calipers used have four options - 10S4 (RHT), 11S4 (LHT), 12S4 (RHL) and 13S4 (LHL).
The permutations are based on left / right hand and leading / trailing.
If you could just rotate them around then there would only be two options needed.
I think you're spot on with the rear uprights not being handed.
The fronts are similar in that they only become handed once you've attached the steering arm or stub-axle.
I'm sticking with Pauls being correct particularly as Mr Winkworths car also seems to have the rear calipers in trailing formation.
Clarity at lastIt’s all getting very technical in here this morning, let’s just go with the fact I’m right ;o)
