Anyone fitted these to their bay?

I highly doubt that anyone is doing enough high speed, repeated braking to warrant anything over the standard sized disc brakes!

But fair play if they getting in some track inspired action...

I've got Hi-Spec calipers all round on mine that came from Simon at Red9...
Stops really rather nicely now 8) ...although the hand brake isn't great (but a line lock to the rears cures that! :lol: )

I have vented larger sized discs with 4 pot willwood callipers on my bay, I think its a must when running a high CC engine (Currently 2276cc 160bhp), my gearbox and tyres sizes mean I can in theory on German autobahn's hit 115mph. Stock brakes would not be up to the job IMO!

There are a good few kits worth looking it if you want performance:

In the UK:

In the States:

Hope that helps!

Alex - is there any likelihood a rear disk kit will be sold by Heritage in the future?
Its an upgrade I would install so I have disks all round however havent found any decent options in wide 5 format?

TBH it isn't really our kind of bag, its not the kind of product we develop.

If I was you I would maybe talk to Fellows Speedshop:

Currently as far as I am aware they only do a front kit but maybe I am wrong.
