Just had chance to weigh the new bell/rotor set up. 9kg, the old 350mm ML disc from the Porsche set up were 12kg each. So a nice saving of 3kg per side.

Very nice clean work there and you’ll have another 3kg of unsprung weight savings each side from the alloy hubs and arms.

Exactly that man. I had fitted all that then the Porsche brakes so technically no weight saving at all. But as you say, probably about 6-7kg a side!

Add another 3kg from a lighter wheel like TD1.2 to hit almost 10kg per front corner. Huge reduction in unsprung mass.

I’d completely forgot about them I’ll have to get it on a weigh bridge when it’s complete
