Re: 1/8 VW GOLF GTI MK2 stance project - An italian job
I started the work on brake system. The caliper and disc out of box are quite hugly.
The caliper kit are in 2 pieces, i want it monobloc like the real
The disc are correct but without personality for my project
I dediced to use the rc disc that are metal and drilled. Another postive point id that the disc is also centre hub for rim, but i need to work because rc disc is quite larger then oem kit
So i made the same work on real big brake conversion: i remade the caliper bracket using a m6 large washer.
I “welded” with cianoacrylate and bicarbonate the caliper to washer. Ase template to have right fitting i use a 6mm drill and i clamped washer to disc...than i made some “welding point”. Finally i finished the welding job.
Imho the disc brake is more good looking
Next step: putty, sanding and final painting.
