Etched brake discs are here!
Arrived today, these are the etched Brembo brake discs I designed, what seems like months ago now! There are two sets - Drilled and Slotted - pictured right in first pic. On the left is the fret containing the middle disc representing the vented section of the brakes, along with a trim ring with the bolt detail and an optional fitting to reduce the interior diameter for smaller axles. This fret is common to both sets i.e. there are two frets per set, each of different thickness. I'm unable to show you the diagram explaining how these fit togeter at the moment coz my software is playing up, but shouldn't take a genius to work it out
 The design was based on the Tamiya R34 i.e. in terms of overall size and will actually include calipers modified from the same kit - these will be cast in resin. They should fit most car models but ideally suited to Tamiya kits. With the optional fitting you will easily be able to attach them to the most common sizes of hubs found in Tamiya kits but should also have little difficulty attaching them to Aoshima, Fujimi and Hasegawa models. However, with a little surgery and basic modeling prowess, there is no reason why they cannot find their way onto the majority of the major kit manufacturers models. Pictured below is the complete Cross Drilled disc attached to an R34 hub and subsequently the R34 rims and Nismo LMGT4's. Please tell me what you think

Suhweet! The only real fit problem with any disk brake is having enough clearance behind the spokes of the wheel to get the brake assembly inside the wheel. Tamiya, Aoshima, Fujimi and XS Tuning have enough clearance so most of your customers should have no problem in that respect.
I'm sure there will eventually be a tutorial on fitting them to various brands of models.

 OMG the detail on those beauties is incredible. YOU ARE AN ARTIST, JUST STUNNING. I was waiting for someone to come out with some nice big brakes. I am guessing that the F and the R on the trees are for front and rear. Once again great work and S.A.S RULES
