I still havnt had the price list for the Group A brakes and pedalbox as yet. I have spoke with him now as you have just reminded me!!!!! :nugget: :nugget:

If i dont get any joy with them this week, we go shopping for the Kad box?
The front brakes he has for sale are 280mm AP racing discs and calipers, alloy bells andthey fit inside a 13" rim :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
So my kad set may be going if these little beauties come for the right money!!!!!!
I think D-Dasturdly wanted first dibs on em aswell

Will keep you posted...........

As used on the group A rally mini cooper as driven by Paddy Hopkirk when he came back to rallying a few years ago. I think only a couple of cars were built at a cost of about 50k each. Lots of bespoke parts on them..

I'm hopefull going to be making a small mod to the throttle return next weekend so I'll try to remember to measure them then!

There's a lot of bits to take of just to measure them! :nugget: :grin:
