My 330mm brake conversion - all on!
jimk04:
I have started on my BBK - I dont want to tread on the toes of Dave the brake Guru - I just fancy having a go at things myself.
These are the basis of the conversion so far - Mercedes 330x28 drilled. They have an overall height of 46.5mm. They are very reasonably priced - although they are not coated so I will be having to prepare the areas that the pad wont work against to keep them looking nice.
I have offered up a template of a 996 pad and they seem to cover the friction area perfectly - the pad just meets with the machined area on the inside, so I shouldn't have a rusty strip.
Took them to my local machine shop and they are going to take out the centre bore a bit more - then make a spigot to fill back in again to the 65mm dia. of the VW hub.
Will be a while till I can afford calipers but atleast I can make a start on the discs. Think I will drop them in this week for machining.
Cheers

Discs are now back from machining - we took the centres out in diameter then made up some stainless spigots. They fit a treat!
Time to paint them now and hunt for some calipers!
