[Roadsters] Roadster Dunlop brakes

[Jerry Krakauer]

Dan,

 

I'm curious about your comment regarding 'expected brake fade.'  My
experiences are dated, but in my SCCA days (60s- 70s)  I, nor other roadster
racers had much of any fade problems, Just needed to use the correct pads. I
used Ferodo DS11 material (along with Nissan 'green stuff' in the rear), and
never had a problem.  After all, the same front brakes were used on series 1
XKEs , Avanti's and a number of other heavier high performance cars. In
street use however,  there was an occasional problem of the pistons seizing
in the cylinders.  Good thing that Dunlop made it so easy to pop off a
cylinder and swap it.

Jim. can you send more information.  Your email below (copied from Larry
Dziuba's post) didn't show up in my inbox for some reason.  I have 14"
slotted aluminum rims that I want to keep.  I'm running a set of recently
replaced stock calipers which work as expected (which includes the expected
brake fade under heavy braking). I don't want to cut, chop, weld and replace
wheels.

Thanks / Dan

Dan, if you are interested in a Wilwood setup, I have a couple versions
depending on your needs.  These stop incredibly well and will fit under some
14" rims or almost any 15".  Super clean install- all bolt up.
