Stories Capri brake conversion

by Johan Vorsterman van Oijen The saga continues. Yes finally I have installed my Capri brakes. Wow what a difference. The car (IMHO) is much safer now for 90's traffic. The pedal movement is a bit hard! I think it's because of the race pads and I should better change the pads with softer ones. Ah, that's not important at the moment. I'm very happy with these brakes. Since there were a lot of questions, I took a couple of detailed photos to explain and show the setup I have at the moment. Click on the thumbnail picture to see a enlarged photo (beware of the download time!).  - An enormous caliper compared to the TR7 original one.  - Once more the Capri caliper.  - I had to file the caliper to free the wheelhub.  - The complete Capri brake setup.
