DanBoy:
I've been struggling on replies for carriers etc too but then I came across this site http://www.porschecalipers.co.uk/uk/index.html

I emailed the bloke who really seems to know his stuff so if you need any bits for doing a BBQ hes very helpful and not badly priced either, he'll have stock of the 312 brackets in the next week or so, and he does brackets for larger sizes too.

@ Viken;  I dont have a pattern but the machine shop I use are very good and said they could make me some up from scratch if I just take the hub/disc/caliper along to them. Or I may draw one up on CAD if I get the time.

I have the experience and resources to have a go at this but I would reiterate that if you are unsure about any of it then employ the services of a chap like DaveB to sort you out....you dont get 2 chances where brakes are concerned!

DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
Full marks Jim....

And full marks again for realising these are brakes and need a good coat of looking at.

I've got a drawing for that carrier if you need it, all the carriers you,see on eBay and other sites are direct copies of mine that I've supplied over the years, it got to the stage where I wouldn't supply to anybody with a Leicester postcode.

Thomas's site has come on a lot, he was a member over on uk-mkivs and I've supplied him some stuff in the past we were forever bidding on the same stuff on the bay!

You'll need a healthy wheel spacer for that setup but that said there a massive sense of achievement for running something you've put together yourself, built not bought springs to mind.

I even considered having some discs commissioned at one point, hydraulically there no benefit in running these over the NQSBBK except a little thicker disc and a slightly larger pad little bit heavier too....aren't they...!

if you need any help at all pal give me a ring, gonna pm you my mobi over now.

if anybody is struggling getting hold of me please keep trying, I get like 40pms a day, say 3 mins a pm to think and reply that's two hours a night on top of my day job and actually getting the stuff made!

Website goes live very soon tou'll all be pleased to hear you'll be able to buy online
