Radial calipers on a C-10 project complete !!!
« on: April 27, 2014, 06:52:23 PM »
Well I said I was going to do it and I finally finished the project today. I made the brackets out of 1/4" by 2"X3" aluminum angle. The radial calipers are off of a ZX something or other. Anyhow all that's left is to put the lines on and bleed them out. But they do look nice if I have to say so myself. Opinions welcome.

Way Cool Jim! do you think there will be any real advantage in braking over the regular 4 pots, or this coolness factor? Steve

I'm not sure Steve. These look slightly larger than my 4 pots I have now so only a test ride will tell
