I'm afraid 280mm isn't possible at the moment, the smallest we can do is 292mm as the caliper comes too close to the hub.

The 292mm kit still fits in the 15" BBS and keeps the handbrake though, so it's all good!

£414.30+vat is about €471.00+vat at the moment, which would be €565.20 including UK vat at 20%. You'll also need pads and brake lines.

Hope that helps! :D

I'd read the email I got with it (rather than the PM itself) - but I'm afraid we still haven't got enough people wanting rear kits to get a custom batch of T10 2-pot calipers made.

:(

If anyone else who wants the WMS E30 rear kit is reading this, please get in touch so we can bump the numbers up!

I only need two customers (confirmed and deposit made) for rear kits to enable a batch of 1.38" size 2-piston calipers to be made - I can leave the rest of the batch of calipers on the shelf at my expense for future customers. Anyone...?

Rear kits are suffering from lead time issues on some of the parts, I'm going to have to drop the deposit plan and just offer them for sale when I finally get the calipers. :?
