Tar.ox have brough out a new 6 Pot B28 caliper for 15" Wheels(£250 each) I've been talking to a guy from Falkland Performance who says he can provide a mounting bracket as well (£120). These will work on the standard disc or any of the other standard replacement discs on the market ie. Tar.ox G88 etc.
I don't want to ugrade to 16 or 17" wheels so this might be the perfect solution, but my worry is the brackets.
Are there any brake experts out there who have any experience of bracket manufacture ie. what they should be made of etc.

Geoff,
My worry would be that the discs won't be up yo the job, you could try asking Ian at Godspeed, he's quite approachable, and he might even be able to do the same thing, he's making brackets for calipers all day, so he does know a thing or two.
ian@godspeed.co.uk I think!

Yes, talk to Ian at Godspeed. I suspect he might say that these calipers are not suitable for road, and I would guess you may well be disappointed with the final outcome. There's only so much you can do with a small disc. If you want big braking start with big discs. Unfortunately, that means bigger wheels, too.

Good luck,

Richard.
