I finally ordered from SAS.........

Well im happy !!!....... i finally "broke my duck" & ordered 4 sets of brake discs from Chris (SAS)............2 sets of each type. It was only a question of time really as one can only take so much of turning out endless hours of model cars with shitty little brake discs. I am however going to use them wisely & only together with wheels where the discs are clearly visible.

Thanks for looking, Mike

I have some SAS seats (Bride ZetaIIs and Recaros) and they're nice. I've also acquired an ITR transkit...one set of the brides is going into the supra I've been working on lately. Very nice stuff. Props to Chris!

May I first apologise to Chris for this but I 'cheat' when I use his brake disc sets. As it doesnt bother me about seeing the inside of the rotor what i've started to do is just use the discs for the outer faces.
I take my razor saw and do a horizontal cut flat to the existing kit disc face into the brake caliper going to the point where the kit disc meets the caliper I then take the etch disc and snip a little off one edge to give it a flat edge which will slide into the previously cut caliper. This gives the disired effect of a shiny detailed disc plus as you only use one half of the set you can do two cars with each set.

Clever stuff, & im sure Chris wont mind since you live so close to him. You can just jump into your car & drive round to Chris's anytime & buy a few more sets...........!?!

You can of course use them how ever you wish. I knew that people would use them in this way too.
