Front Brakes

[LowRyter]

The guys at Powerhouse in the UK were super helpful. They have now listed 5 different kits for V11 Sport/Lemans brake caliper rebuilds, including a set of stainless steel pistons for the fronts. Here are the links:

I ordered seals for fronts and rear. They combined shipping.

 

 

So should we buy this stuff now while we can or just wait for you and Chuck to reverse engineer and redesign this stuff?

Just caught up to this thread... To answer questions from the last page: I thought the quality of the rebuild kit was quite good. The brakes felt superb after the rebuild (and after the initial seating of the new pads on the new rotors). Sadly, the LeMans has "left the building" along with the new brakes so I can't do a long-term test. Ironically, she left in trade for my Ducati ST3, which has the same rotors and calipers as the V11 - but a different master cylinder.

 

@LowRyter - that's funny.
