Will these fit over BBK's such as AP's?

..Blackadder.. · Jun 20th, 2008, 04:59 PM

Hi Roland can you put me down for a full set for the car in the blue ta will you need longer wheel bolts to fit them???

PmP · Jun 20th, 2008, 05:23 PM

Be interested to see the photos.

Also what material are you making them from? And do they fit like a spacer? If so how thick is the spacer bit, as im currently running spacers in the front.

Thinking a black set would look neat. As long as they dont look like painted brake drums

I painted my hubs silver but I can't get a colour match for the JCW calipers so I might have to get the rear calipers powder coated to match!

PMP what about these drums?

Hi Guys the 'spacer' part adds just 1.5mm so has virtually no effect on track width. Doesnt require longer bolts and can be used with existing spacers.

They wont look like painted drums, we could even anodise these 'bell boots' instead of powder coating, which 'looks' even more aluminium. (they are aluminium BTW)

Sounds brilliant roland. I'll wait to see the first photos.

Can you get other parts anodised or powder coated?

Have a couple of fixings off the mini that look a bit tatty, think they are aluminium and would look well anodised or powder coated.

roland2003 · Jun 25th, 2008, 08:41 AM

Hi, yes we can powder coat most items that are metal only.

GTT 280 · Jun 25th, 2008, 11:51 AM

FYI all... i had Spiroslot rear brakes fitted and they aready come coated (far better than the Tarrox kit i had that rusted big time!!!)

NickG · Jun 25th, 2008, 12:12 PM

give them time and you will need the bell boots.

roland2003 · Jun 25th, 2008, 04:47 PM

Fronts are always going to deteriorate quicker than rears. Bell boots should stop it showing though.

Hi Roland so how much more would the anodising be?? have you got any dates when they'll be done by???

randap · Jun 30th, 2008, 10:40 AM

Me please....any chance of a "kit" deal with spiroslots? I'd be interested in a full front set.

NickG · Jul 16th, 2008, 09:24 AM

Bumping this.

Any news on availability, need to hide the rust and starting to look at BBKs as an option if these boots are going to take a while.

roland2003 · Jul 17th, 2008, 10:29 AM

hi, the rears will fit R56 anyway as are the same size, I think another version for R56 fronts would be available depending on popularity of these First Gen. ones.
