Thanks guys!!!

How do you all find this kit?? Is it a massive improvement over the standard setup? What pads are you using, i'm considering red stuff ceramics. I like the fact that you can use the bigger pads (DB7, XJS parts) which are in fact cheaper!!!!

Is the mounting bracket machined, or just cut thick sheet?

Simb, have you had any problems with the cross drilled discs cracking?

Dyney, can I just ask, how did you manage to get yours in an anodized blue finish on the bells??? I'm sure I asked Ian when I bought mine and he said he didn't do it
(was about 1 1/2 years ago mind!)

Looks

I Would say that they have covered about 10K IIRC

They are not starting to crack from the holes in the discs , Not even sure if they are cracks ( Crazing ?? ) Very faint black lines .. Not deep just marked on the surface

If you look @ the pic above ( Simb 2) The Cracking / Crazing is coming from around the 10 no allen bolt thingy's that bolt the Alli bell to the disc

Hope this helps ?

Have mailed Ian about this , Was told not to worry , But just to keep an eye on it

Tiny..

See if i can get a pic on Sun for you

Pickle,
I had them anodised after I bought them. Look as good now as the day I fitted them (2 years ago)
Think the anodising cost me £20 cash

Ian can anodise the bells and brackets loads of different colours but adds £25 to the cost of the kit
