AMMO Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 I'm quite happy with the brakes on my Caterham. The feel and bias are good on my car. The only thing I object to is the weight of the standard 2 pot calipers. Anyone come across an aluminium 2 pot caliper that fits or can be adapted to fit? I was at Bentwaters today and saw a lot of Elises with ali two pots up front. Do Elise owners upgrade to something else? Could this be a source for used calipers?

Morls Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 AMMO, James Whiting had some, they look very similar to the Triumph type but weigh considerably less. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMO Posted February 25, 2002 Author Share Posted February 25, 2002 Mark Thanks. I'll give James Whiting a ring to see if he thinks it's possible to fit them. Should be able to save at least 3 kilos. AMMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 AMMO, you save 3kg with the 4 pot Alcon calipers so those 2 pot calipers must be lighter. James Whiting has those 2 pot ali. calipers on his S2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Walker Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 I think JW is doing the ali 2 pot calipers for the Caterham FireBlade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdg Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Mallocks have had replacement alloy 2-pots for the Triumph for donkeys years. Give Richard Mallock a ring on 01604 863504. The Mallock and Lotus 7 chassis are fundamentaly similar. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
