Ereschkigal Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Need more info like width and offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob L Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I'm 16x9.5 I hope that's not too wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woza01 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 OK...The Wheels I'm running (for now !) are Performance Superlites 16x7 12P Offset. The handbrake lever DOES protrude out further than the inner rim diameter, BUT, the lever is actually further inboard that the Strut Tower...so if your wheels don't rub on your strut tube, then they wont foul with the handbrake lever. This is kinda hard to imagine, but the MC4 mechanism is quite 'busy'...Check out the attache pic - i tried to capture just how far inboard the lever is...you can see the strut tube in the lower right of pic, and the HB lever is further inboard. I have taken a photo (attached)...showing the offset from the wheel mounting face, to the handbrake lever itself...its 150mm I am going away on Monday for nearly 3 weeks, but i will confirm all this information upon my return.

Ereschkigal Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 So theoretically a 10.5" wide wheel with 0 offset will clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimaera Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Very good design however I went with aluminum at different cost to have it made and used the Wilwood mounting plate for the MC4 caliper to which the float pins are mounted through. I cant seem to add a picture so here is my link to the picture http://www.my240z.info/upgrade/ebrake/2016-08-25_bracket-mc4_01.jpg Write up on the upgrade is on my page http://www.my240z.info/upgrade/ebrake Edited October 20, 2016 by chimaera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woza01 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 UPDATE : September 28 2016. Since returning from my vacation I have done the following... * Removed the spring from my strut, then refitted the strut. I then jacked up that corner with a jack, through the struts full range of travel to make sure the handbrake lever doesnt foul on the body - It doesnt...all good ! * Had to do a minor machining modification to get the Main Caliper offset spot-on. * Finalised the drawing for the Handbrake cable - Its with the manufacturer now, and i "should" have it back in about 10 days. Once I get the cable, I will fit it, put the wheels on, and thoroughly put the new handbrake through its paces to ensure functionality is right. After this, I will be happy to take orders if anyone is interested still. I'm really excited about this - having a STRONG handbrake caliper is going to be great...My last kit with the spot caliper was lacking due to the poor design of the caliper..too small a pad area and and adjustments required too frequently. The MC4 caliper is a vast improvement, and i can see its clamping force is going to be considerable. Thanks for your patience everyone.....

Woza01 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Pricing .... At this point....No..I dont have anything worked out yet...as with everything, R&D costs quite a bit...and this is no exception....1 set of plates cut, one set machined, then re-machined, one cable...It hasnt been cheap. So, when i have a better idea of numbers, i will be able to get more accurate prices...Buying in Bulk saves heaps Having said this...lets get the ball rolling with an "Expression Of Interest" list..... Add your name to the list if you are interested. NOTE : You wont be held accountable if you add your name, but change your mind....its merely for me to get an idea on numbers.... Please Note : This kit has been developed as an 'add-on' for the AZC Rear Disc Brake Kit. The Bracket replaces the original AZC bracket, which allows for the addition of the Wilwood MC4 Handbrake Calipers (Not included in my kit), but everything else remains the same. If your Rears are NOT AZC, then I cannot guarantee correct fit. Also, my Rear Calipers are Dynalite Pro 4 Spots...which i believe have been superseded..Please check if YOUR Calipers have the same Critical dimensions (Mounting Crs, Centre to Mounting Face) as mine. I have attached a Picture of said Calipers, as well as the Critical Dimensions (Red Boxes).

Rob L Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Throw me on the list ! What sucks is I have the newer caliper ...ugh I will take some measurements and let you know Edited September 28, 2016 by theatriks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ereschkigal Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Is this the same caliper? http://arizonazcar.com/rear4lug3.jpg I haven't bought the AZC Kit yet, but I will. Edit: If I compare the pictures, it looks like the same caliper. Edited September 28, 2016 by Ereschkigal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob L Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I bought my kit from arizona Z about 2 years ago and this is my rear caliper...subtle differences ...im sure its fine i just gotta measure to double check . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woza01 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Is this the same caliper? http://arizonazcar.com/rear4lug3.jpg I haven't bought the AZC Kit yet, but I will. Edit: If I compare the pictures, it looks like the same caliper. Yes, almost indistinguishable from that photo, but they are slightly different in appearance (more 'rounded' on edges etc)...Im pretty sure that dimensionally they will be the same.

Yeah....Pretty sure they will be the same dimensionally. I would hate peeps to have fitment problems, hence the reason for notifying peeps about my calipers v yours etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ereschkigal Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) I searched a bit for the available sizes on the Wilwood website and these would fit: Dynapro Lug Mount Calipers http://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/CaliperList.aspx?subname=Dynapro%20Lug%20Mount Dynapro Dust-Boot Calipers http://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/CaliperList.aspx?subname=Dynapro%20Dust-Boot Forged Dynalite Calipers http://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/CaliperList.aspx?subname=Forged%20Dynalite I already mailed Dave, but who knows when he will answer.

Rob L Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 ^^^ I am sure if you send Dave the measurements provided that is needed to make it work he would be able to make sure you get the right size before he ships...i would call him ...much quicker response .

calZ Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 So this will include just the bracket and e-brake cable, correct? I am interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
