New Brake set up

[gagvanman]

Fitted these new 4 pot callipers from Fosseway Performance. Much better feel to the brake pedal, better stopping distance and the pads aren't bedded in properly yet, so I expect it to get even better. Also a lot cheaper than other alternatives out there.

So, what’s it like having brakes that actually work ? Gotta say, it does look the part too :mrgreen:

Ozziedog,,,,,,, brakes, hhhmmmmpp,,, nice idea :mrgreen:

The old ones worked, but not as responsive as these new ones!

Hi I'm not really up with brake upgrades but would these fit my crossover front original disks ?
Cheers Bud

As long as the spindles are from 73 onwards.

No good on mine then ? Mine are original 71 on crossovers!

Have bedded these in now. Had a bit of a pull to the left, so bled again and had to have the steering alignment done as I had to replace the near side steering tie bar. The brakes are fantastic, so much better than with the standard set up, no worries about pulling up sharply now.

Do you have a Servo fitted?

 

[gagvanman]

currently don't have a servo. However, I have bought all the kit to fit a servo. Brakes are really good at the moment.

hi - did you fit the servo in the end? and how do the Fosseway discs perform with it? Also, you said that you need to have '73-on spindles, but Fosseway advertise this for the crossover and don't say they require latebay spindles altho they do recommend latebay discs...?
any feedback would be v handy!!
cheers

I still haven't got around to fitting the servo yet, but my engine is out of the van for rebuild so I plan on doing it before refitting the engine.
As for the spindles, when I bought the van the PO said the front setup were late bay but what year exactly I don't know.

Hi, did you fit the fosseway brakes to drop spindles?
