Gauging interest in a run of budget big brake kit brackets?

[dhminer]

Received with thanks. Brackets are solid. Calipers just got done, ready to get them mounted.

Any interest for another order? I’ll take one.

Potentially, I’ll start making a list if people are interested, it would need to be another 10 sets to get another order going

Update google doc with reference to front (instead of potentially guessing rear) 986 brake calipers, caliper part numbers (EDIT- they're on page 7), link to whoosh 280mm rear brackets.

A print out that we can use to check wheel fitment that has a scale on it to verify size. I would make one, but haven't purchased calipers or rotors yet, so cannot verify sizes. Something like this. I think I'm right on the line about whether or not my wheels will fit with spacers. Having the easy print out should help be able to quickly check other wheel sizes.

Thanks for the feedback.

I’m working on a template model and I’ve got one that’s representative to within about 2mm based on some back and forth with Konig’s technical support. Their Dekagram CAD model vs my CAD model shows 1mm clearance, my actual on-car measurements show 3mm. Trying to refine it a bit closer as the clearances are quite tight.

Currently rebalancing the Heliograms to avoid wheel weight contact with the calipers.

When you reverse the crossover tube, you need to switch tubes between calipers and it should bend the other way.

Also, it seems like you might have the caliper oriented the wrong way on the wrong side - the pocket the crossover tube used to sit in should be “up” and the tube moved to the opposite side of the other caliper.

More details on page 9 (reversing tubes) and page 12/13 (caliper orientation with small/big piston) of the instructions.

Looks like I could put another picture in the instructions. Here’s how mine look:

Other than the orientation issues with the tube, looks like it’s coming together? How is the fitment with the Heliograms? Did you end up needing a spacer? The area the Konig rep thought would be the closest clearance was right near the hub of the wheel

Been putting in 70+ hour weeks at work recently so have had a shop tackle a number of things for me. I just happened to show up yesterday and took some photos of the work. I knew something was off, so thanks for the help.

Wheels were on and it looked like it cleared the hub, but I’m not 100% sure, may still need a spacer. I will know more once the rest of the work is completed later this week.
