Anyone know this 1600

[Bartman]

I might be wrong about that part, I haven't actually done mine yet.
Greg datto_610 has though. Maybe he'll chime in.

Yep - Caliper on the top, that's why the holes need to be welded up from memory as a pair of them are half over the 1600 pcd pattern

The offset on the bracket is to the inside , and once you get the centre hole opened slighty you will see where the bracket doesnt quite clear the seam of the trailing arm. Basically a dress of the curve will fix that.

Disc should just slip on and brake bolt up.

Buy the hand brake cables from Datsport. Far cheaper than the set i had made..............

[Bartman]

$220AUD is a lot of money. Especially when you figure in the freight too.
I hate to think how much your cables must have cost Mark, if the datsport ones are good value?
Last lot of cables I had made (Modified U13 cables for a U13 rear disc conversion on a 1200) was under $100. And that included buying the donor cables. (and I recall thinking they had charged me heaps too)

Still seething about my cables , considering I had both the r31 and 1600 cables for the end crimps......
Got the lengths of a diagram from the net, run the tape over mine and decided they would be fine.
.
.
Looked up the local "brake" place and rocked in there thinking maybe 200 bucks ill be happy, they are only a bit of cable and crimps how much could they be. Can get made ones for AUS $220
.
5 days later got the phone call they had arrived, rocked in and $370ish NZ for the pair.
Upside was he didnt push enough digits on the eptpos and looked at the receipt 3 days later to show $37.00 for the pair.

Downside had messages at the office/work phone because I gave him my business card to ring me when they arrived.........

Because im to bloody honest I went in there and paid the rest after a few days of fuming , but as long as my arse points down i never buy another custom set of brake cables..............(next car Im doing currently ill find some calipers and mod to the existing cables)

Thanks for the info fallas.

I have a shiney pair of handbrake cables and hoses sitting on my workbence fresh from Datsport - I wont mension the price but figured my time pissing around getting them made and the price of getting them made will equal out slightly and if i stuff up measuements then ill be up for more cables when atleast the Datsport ones are tried and tested and a click of a lazy button has them sitting at my front door .

Ill get the centres of the brackets buzzed out this week, pick up some new wheel bearings and start playing around with fitting it all.

[Bartman]

I would dearly love to take some measurements off your cables before you fit them if I may Nic?
I'm pretty sure I can have some made at safeRbrakes cheaper than what mark got stung. even though they aint that cheap to deal with.

[SRDATO]

Im sure you could bart to be honest, with the exact measurments it would be quite easy for the to replicate. Ill take some measurements and photos before I fit them and make them avalable for anyone that wants to have some done in the future.
Maybe put it on the forum somewhere.

[Bartman]

Sweet!

[Datto_610]

Also very keen to get lengths of cables.. I have some second hand ones but I snapped the threaded end trying to remove the adjuster Bart has suggested I go into Safe R Brakes to get a new end crimped on but I also need new sheathes as mine are split.
