A bit of braking

Hi,

I've been following conversations about braking conversions in the USA for some time now, and I've had some very interesting things.

1. HP2 323x30 with 15" rims (didn't know it could be done):

2. S500 brake system (MJ2000) on the UFO suspension leg (but with significant modifications):

There are two versions: 16" and 17" (sorry, maybe someone else likes to translate):

The 16" version uses a '98 S500 caliper and a8 rotors. We milled off the ufo mounting bracket; machined and welded on a new bracket. Kinda a permanent setup, but it could fit 16's for the winter so that was the goal.

The 17" version i had on my 20020vtqa. Used ufo housings, with a aluminum machined bolt on bracket. Had to grind a tiny bit to clear the 4 piston caliper. 400 series benz caliper? We had to make .125" spacers the make the 2 peice caliper wider to fit the rotor. Rotor was maybe a euro a8? I sold those back in 2006 to a v8q owner who is still rocking those today.

The guy wants to sell the whole thing in small series now. Generally speaking, there is a lot going on in the pond right now - hard to believe how long-lasting this cart is...
