Which linkages did you end up buying from Kamracing? my gear change is very slack/sloppy and I'm considering replacing mine.

Looks good but waht do you gain by using larger discs with smaller callipers except additional un-necessary weight?

evans1089 19th April 2009 12:36

Quickshift Time..
Lower console was removed.. including gaitor.
So, we had to cut off the ball, so we used an auto saw powered by a compresser! Which did the job in seconds lol..





Trial Fitment:


Final Product
;)

They arnt smaller though, they fit the whole of the disc..
They were just advertised wrongly when i bought them.

Next job was to tackle the splitter idea..
How would you attach the splitter to the bottom bumper without it falling off when the wind blows..?
Our solution.. HOMEMADE BRACKETS! ;)

5 pieces of scrap metal we used to mace 'C' shaped brackets and then bolted them on either side of the bumper and the splitter holding it in place.










Picture of Discs:

Sorry but that just looks a mess. A splitter bolts to another splitter?

Peugeot 307 2.0HDI discs and pads, 283mm discs.
linkages are easy, pop them out, fill new ones with grease and pop them back in :y:
