Rex bracket ethical dilemmaness Mon, 18 July 2005 11:11 Go to next message
Hello All,

Rex has a problem. Most cock-spankers know of the mythical FC RX7 Caliper to AE86 bracket beast.

He has the machining file (been through about 10 peoples hands first) and schematic drawings of the stoopid thing.

Ofcourse to machine one unit incurrs a setup cost of over $500. The price plummets massively for 10 or more and even less for 100.

NOW, The dilemma...

Not being or knowing who the author of the orginal file is, is the awesomeness of Rex factor decreased if he organises some grope buy using said file?

Ya dig?


Rex

What rotors were the plans to suit? Could you make something up for a pair of FD s6 calipers Rex?

Eddie.

Edit: and those adaptor plates from Japan seem to be impossible to find. I tried calling up Ben at Bel and they said the last pair they got in from Yahoo Auctions on a lucky break.

i assume Rex has read this and has good reasons like pad wear and even clamping force? (or a better disc in mind)?
http://p078.ezboard.com/fdorikazefrm7.showMessage? topicID=143.topic

oh and for ethical-ness. is there a copywrite mark or anything to indicate the original author on the files? esp with machining files it should hve info like that?

if not.. what were they thinking Wink

i think it's not an ethical dilemma.. you are providing a service to the community Wink

YAY!

Reasons are simple:

Gain larger vented disc (approx 280odd mm) for better heat dissipation and moment.

Primarily bacause have access file already made.

Calipers not too heavy


Or if anyone has any info, on other upgrades. Chime in now. Would be good because FC3S calipers not the most common.

Rex

Rex, if you are serious, i actually live about 15-20kms away from this Hotstaff place...
methinks $1700 is a little steep tho.

Sapporo-shi's Kita-Ku (my suburb) is right next to Ishikari-Shi
LOL@ flower kawa Very Happy Hanakawa south 10 Jou 1 choume, 1-5. thats going into the sat nav Laughing
actually i drove within about 1km of this place yesterday Shocked

anyway....
if just caliper brackets are wanted, i can always (get someone else to) ask... picking up is no prob, and they can't be that heavy to post.

Cya, Stewart

I'm still interested to know what rotor this fits? After trawling through the DBA catalogue several times to find a good match, i want to make sure the rotors are available here. Or if i can get the od, hat height, thickness and centre hole dia, i'll look up what disk they're using.

back to original point of thread.

Rex has a machine file to make said caliper brackets.

Rex has no Wink ethical dilemma as such.

all Rex needs is a few ppl to put their hands up and money down to ensure a decent price for machining.
(no Rex imitation intended Wink )

it's guaranteed to be a damn site cheaper than any hunks of metal shipped from japan.


Evan, that someone will have to send me money, up front, and lots of it Wink i still have to bribe people to translate for me Razz. i mean like AUD$2000 BEFORE shipping to Australia.. that should be at least a couple of hundred also.. and then GST, Duty blah blah.. sayyy.. $3000 for the kit? makes local options look a lot better Wink
