CDF brake stopper. New design? Anyone else had one recently?
I've just had my brake stopper delivered (it's for a newage), but it's only got the main brace section, not the smaller bracket. See picture below. Cdf say this is the new design, even though the picture on the website has both parts.
Has anyone else ordered one recently? If so what did you get?
All that came in the packet...

Get someone to stand on your brake pedal while you put your hand on the master cylinder, the ridiculous amount of flex you see, this brace eliminates some of that. Does a shed load more good I think than braided lines does.

I've got braided lines already (and ebc pads). So this was the last upgrade before something more substantial. I think cdf have missed a bit from the kit, but I wondered if anyone else has had one recently.
This is what is on the website: http://www.cdfracing.co.uk/product_i...542c003acfa405
The above kit is what I got from Tegiwa recently, for comparison.
That appears to have all the parts and is almost half the price...
It's taken almost a month to get here, and now the kit isn't complete. Why do cdf think it doesn't need the small bracket any more? Surely that just moves the pivot point back to the bolt that hold the boost solenoid, and gives the brake master cylinder more leverage against this unit? I've gone back to and asked for the rest of the bits to complete the kit.

The joys of using cdf racing. Precisely why I won't. ...
Looks the same as what I got. Excuse the m8 nuts on the end, I have the proper bit on there now. The one I got was a little big, but luckily I'm local to Chris so he got me the other bit pretty quick.

So yours is a one piece as well...
Did you find it made a difference?
Fitted it. Would have been easier if the bolts supplied in the kit were vaguely the right length or thickness.
I've ditched the grommets on the bracket for the boost solenoid as they allowed some flex. Time will tell if this was a good idea or not.
But even on a quick trip around town I can really feel a difference.
I'd recommend it as a mod. Just not from cdf...

Careful.
Chris will be on saying he has neverecently had any complaints and has 100% happy customers!
They just aren't that great.... spacers that dont fit, fuel rails that leak and half of a bmcs!
Thanks for the pictures showing how it fits, I haven't done mine yet, was waiting to get braided hoses fitted first at service time and then get the stopper kit fitted after.
