FRONT 4 POT BRAKES:
Available for MGA & MGB

Our front brake kit has been developed to be a simple bolt-on replacement for standard and modified cars to improve the braking efficiency and reduce the unsprung weight without requiring any further modifications to the braking system.

The calipers have been designed with road use in mind and give a stylish appearance, and have integral mounting lugs for specific MG application They feature a rigid lightweight aluminium body, which is machined from billet bar and hard anodised inside and out, as are the four pistons, safeguarding the long term efficiency of both calliper body and components. The design incorporates dust seals and internal brake fluid transfer galleries, and the 6 stainless steel bolts provide the rigidity to reduce flexing.

The cross sectional area of the combined pistons is only 2% larger than the standard GT and V8 brakes and therefore does not change the capacity requirements of the hydraulic system. However the pad area is increased by approximately 20% thus increasing the braking efficiency significantly. Each caliper only weighs 1.7 kilos and contributes to a large reduction in unsprung weight.

Standard “off the shelf” pads are used and can be sourced in different materials, e.g.: EBC range (green stuff, etc), Mintex, Pagid……

The 10.75” vented discs are the same diameter as standard ones, and with the 4 pot calliper fit within most 14” wheels (min 310mm internal diameter required). They are also “off the shelf” and are fitted with a special bell (supplied) to adapt them for fitting to MG hubs. Vented discs are nearly double the thickness of solid discs and are much better able to soak up the heat.

 Stainless steel braided hoses and the necessary fittings are supplied in each kit to enable the bolt-on replacement to be carried out simply without the need to source additional components.

NB   A modified version of these calipers are also available for use with BV8 solid ½” discs and can be purchased separately.
