Can anyone tell me the wilwood caliper model and part number used on the zcars big brake kit?
I have the kit on my mini but I've lost the box the calipers came in. I'm trying to find the caliper specs to see if I can use them on another project.
Cheers
Tom

Part numbers are on this page - unsure of piston area though (if you have some maybe remove the pad and measure the piston size to confirm:

Starting My Mini Up

Hey Kirk,
Somewhat related to this post... When I was looking at the Wilwood website and then talking to ZCars about the big brake kit and pedal box setup, I was told the master cylinder sizes they suggest/supply for both front and rear are the 0.750 cylinders... But I couldn't help but notice that yours are the 0.625 cylinders.
Just wondering why that was?? Like if that's just what you ended up with by chance? Or if that was a conscious decision you made to go for the smaller cylinders... And if so, what the reason was and what the benefits are, etc??
Thanks,
JEFF

Jeff, as per my PM message reply to you and for others reading I am using 0.75's now as the 0.625's are not big enough for the Powerlites.

with the ratio of the mini pedal using 0.75 gives better feel for the brakes
