Used AP295 discs and ali bells

AP295 discs removed from the front of my S2 Elise at the beginning of November.

Fitted in April 2008 they�ve covered approx 20k miles.

Measured on a micrometer last weekend on removal they are now at the thickness below:

Front Left � 24.05mm
Front Right � 24.07mm

Calliper spacers to enable fitting of these discs will be supplied.

�225

Price includes postage to UK only.

Will these fit a S2 Exige? If they will I’m interested

Just had a look at the elise-shop website and they don’t have different options for yota/k-series/elise/exige S2s so I believe they will fit.

Yes all S2 are the same :slight_smile:

Just realised I wanted these for the rear on mine, but I don’t have time over the winter to do the rear caliper conversion as these won’t fit with the standard handbrake caliper :frowning: (I run 2 pots on the rear for the normal brakes)) so I looked at the 290’s you have for sale but the bells look like the Elisparts ones not the AP like these have (not enough bolt holes) or am I mistaken?

EP have 10 bolt holes AP have 12 as above :slight_smile:

Had never spotted that the rear bells were different to the fronts in all honesty. Having looked at my new discs and old it seems the rears only have 8 bolts… checked this against my new discs as well.

Here are my new AP290s on floating bells… only replaced my old ones as the new discs came on the bells at a VERY good price as part of a whole deal on a brake upgrade to the fronts.

now I’m not sure what to do, the discs look very 2nd hand, but I am really after the bells, I’ll have to do some maths to see what my best path to go is, I only want the bells to use 308mm discs on the rear, I was going to get new fronts and put my used ones on the back. But by the time I have spent �225 on yours it might be cheaper just to buy new discs and bells for the front…
Argh my brain hurts, I’m going to have a little lay down

The rear 290mm discs have a fair bit of meat left on them, but the bells aren’t suitable to AP295 or 308mm. The front bells won’t work with AP308mm discs as they have a different PCD, they will however work with Alcon 308mm discs.

If you’re just after the bells make me an offer :slight_smile:

I’ve got those on the back of mine.

Had to get the discs machines down slightly so they fit.

Also fitted the front callipers on the back.

Together it makes a worthwhile improvement.

You are using 295’s then ?

Yes, as I had them already wanted to use them.

I can’t remember the exact size they were machined down to but 287mm rings a bell.

I have the car here so can take a photo if you need.

Thanks

How did you sort the handbrake, please?

Just retained the original caliper.

Put a bleed nipple where the brake pipe went. Made sure it was full of fluid as it acts as a lubricant.

Works well. It’s a cheap solution to improving rear braking.

so what’s the best/cheapest solution to put the front caliper at the back apart from a new rear upright?

I am tempting to get the Alcon 4 pots on the front…hmmm

There is a chap in Italy making a high quality CNC bracket.

It just bolts into existing holes.

Very happy with it. Think I paid �200 for the pair.

Sorry to Hijack Keith’s selling thread :blush:

you did the same as me, it does work very well, but I want bigger rear discs as I feel there is a need for more rear braking

i think the biggest for the rear is 305 for the S1? i m currently on 295 now which i think is sufficient enough for my K…

They are rather expensive though Dave :frowning: The ones from Italy are half the price :wink:
