TSL are doing a split bell & disc set up to go with the alcon calipers. Once purchased, discs will be a bl++dy signht cheaper than alcons to They also do DS2500 pads to suit.

No link to tsl, just a v.satisfied customer.

And they weigh a tonne. I have a second set of alcon callipers and discs at home, the discs weigh alot more than AP etc, the callipers feel about the same. I'm hoping to get AP discs and custom bells made up.
