Brake Caliper Question

Post by Charlie » Sat Dec 25, 2021 9:17 pm

Does anyone know if the budget formula car callipers by A.P are likely to be the same ones Ariel uses as seen in this link https://apracing.com/race-car/brake-cal ... and-cp7613
It says they accept discs 267mm-295mm there are lots of others which I believe are called radial mounted but the biggest disc I could find for them was 280mm?

Definitely not - as you can see from these photos of the APs on a 4, not even vaguely similar: https://www.targafloriocars.com/used/ca ... 50bhp-1484

Like the Alcons on previous Atoms, I believe they are unique to the Atom and can only be sourced via the factory.

Ok thanks do you know if that is the same for suspension or by any chance do you think Ohlins ttx40 for formula cars would fit thanks?

I’ve been doing some more research and it is information not readily available but I believe the alcons could be the same as a Ford Racing Puma they certainly use the same pads http://www.pumapeople.com/forum/index.p ... pic=102314

I believe a few people have enquired and be told they are unique to Ariel and can only be sourced via the factory.

Again, I believe the pads are shared with a few cars but the calipers are unique to the Atom.
