Good find Dick, that looks like a decent quality kit for a good price, I think I might just go for one of those as I'm yet to build up the front drums and by the time I subtract the cost of an axle set of linings and new goodridge hoses it's a bit of a no brainer.

Reading between the lines of what I've read on the Imp Club website I think these are made by an Imp Club member - Colin Valentine if my memory serves me correctly.

Not sure on the cost as to whether it is a fair reflection, discs are £30 pr and it doesn't come with calipers. Is there really that amount of machining to get the other costs?

I made my own and I'd say £175 is excellent value. It took me days to produce front and rear brackets and modify the discs.

Braided hoses £30, all SS fittings, new discs £30 plus machining work, not a bargain but a homemade kit would be getting on for £100 and this is all sorted

The Davrian sourced discs are 260mm by 10mm.

Tim had 200 cast years ago but they are long gone, so now he uses machined Alfa Romeo discs.
