I have just had some news from the firm, yesterday. Some bad, some good, some not so good!


The original supplier of parts has fallen by the wayside. :nonod: :rant: :rant:

The firm I am dealing with have managed, now, to get an alternate supplier who has agreed to manufacture and supply callipers and rotors. :yesnod: :thumbsup:

But, It looks as though the price will be higher than I'd hoped. :shrug:

However, it seems that the callipers and rotors are of better quality than the previous supplier.

I will update you as I get more information. Hopefully soon.

Encouraging noises are being made by the company and I hope to have more definite news soon.
ps I know what you mean about seat edges. I'm suffering cramp in most unusual places! :yesnod:

A gentle nudge in hopes of pics of those brakes? Or better still pricing and availability!

The present position, is that the callipers are being produced as we type. They will soon be with the company and then fitted to my vehicle. I'm as keen as anyone to see this come to fruition. :yesnod:
As soon as that happens I will post as much as I can,(promise) but I am afraid I'm not authorised to post photos or any more details at present. :nonod:
