Custom caliper brackets
 

Anyone know or used an engineering company that can fabricate custom mounts? I've done the measuring and it's fully modelled in 3D. Only need a pair.

Try BG Developments in Bromsgrove. They did my PF S8 set up of a custom APRacing kit and made brackets for my C6 RS6 rears.
Or

Trophy888 on here who did my brackets for the B7 RS4 setup on my current D2.

What those for? You might find other people are interested too. If you can get a few made it might bring the unit cost down.

Unless you want an exclusive swap of course ;)

Thanks for that Mike. Appreciated +++ I've also checked local firms who can mill metal and shall contact them this week.

I've had this set of Brembo 8 pots for some time now and thinking of putting them on the D3 with a 360x34mm disc, which is also the oem size disc so a choice of drilled or grooved from Zimmerman. Good idea or not? I've compensated for the 2.5mm difference as usually this caliper used the floating two piece 365x34mm disc. I could easily redraw the bracket to suit a floating 365x34mm disc using the centre bells off a Phaeton for correct offset, should that be the better solution. But my thinking was I'm not a sports driver, the stock 2 pots on 360mm are bit poor and RS4 or Phaeton 365's are £500+

My concern about anything like that would be the mechanical properties, i.e. what forces/stresses do they need to deal with.
This is brakes we're talking about, you don't want any sort of failure......:tuttut:

Sounds like a good plan to me. Mikes car certainly stops exceptionally well with those calipers.

Now I've had the pro cut its retina detaching!
