NTDWM!

Scrolling through the depths of fleabay, stumbled across these;
Wilwood brakes

Didn't know if it was anyone on here, or if anyone was looking for an upgrade? If I hadn't bought all new bits last month, I might have had them myself!

So does the disc mount on the hub just being hold from the wheel mounting bolts?

Aren't there normaly disc securing screws to do that?

Can be either.
Most of the time the wheel being bolted to the hub secures the disk in place. the grub screw is only usually there to stop the disk dislodging when you take the wheel off.

I'd be more interested to see how the calipers mount to the hub, they seem to be radial mounts without brackets?

Look like ali cortina hubs and standard willwood stuff that bolts on the upright.

The hubs would cost ~£100 the pair so its not a bad deal really.

On an aside why would you have a starting bid of £395 and a buy it now at £400?

I don't sell on ebay so maybe it reduces the fee's somehow, but logically it make little sense to me.

Because he wants £400 minimum for them, but if a bidding war begins he's quite happy not to stop it!

Whoever bought them got a bargain!

I think if the disc is in a position to "fall off" when driving you have more serious problems to contend with first!
