Just been looking for these parts on the online shops and cannot find just the bells. Does anyone know where to get them from. They are available from AP (with discs), Eliseparts (with own discs) and Uldis mentioned in a thread about his Mutts Nuts with discs, but not just the bells. I have the drawings from Andy but they seem hellish expensive to get made! ( or does anyone have a good source for sensible prices? )
another thing, are the hole patterns PCD on all the alloy bells the same? i am thinking if buying a cheaper set of elise parts disc and bells, get all set up and then later i can swop the discs to the Alcon 295mm ones once i have won the lottery next month…
Uldis, or ones who know, where can i find out more and buy these mutts nuts brake bits? You seem to have a successful setup on these according to your comments on a thread here.
you’re not kidding! for that money i could easily make some sort of wallace and grommet retractable parachute system out of my lemans tent and an old black and decker drill.
but the end of the day it has to be done right to get all the parts up to scratch.
on the discs there are 6 grooves on the faces and 48 cooling vanes.
they don’t look too amazing but reputidly a very high quality material.( hopefully reflected in the price.) plus using grooves avoids the potential problems with cracks and splitting associated with the drilled discs.
Yup and had some issues too thus why I am trying something different. Car should be back soon I hope (and sporting a few more ponies) so I’ll let you know how I get on…
what were those issues and what are you hoping for with the new recommendation?
i have been using 14’s with what i believe to be standard discs, with racing fluid, no ducting, and things have been getting very hot. been working well considering, plenty of pedal pressure to keep the disc straight… but getting so hot in fact the pad material has sort of shattered and fallen away from the metal carrier plate and the little dust cover on my caliper has melted all over the bleed nipple.
Similar kind of thing getting very hot and then actually transferring pad material to the disks + loads of vibration when braking. Similar issue to lots of people I think…
