Rear brakes

Posted by on 27th February , 2012

Rear hub conversion is moving forward with J30 rear discs due to arrive this week which also came with free pads. Test fit of the J30 calipers went well with both the stock N13 mounts and handbrake cable being a good fit.

The dust shield had to be removed in order for the caliper to fit to the stock mount points. This can be trimmed down if desired to be refitted, personally I’m not sure if I’ll refit it. A similar conversion and details can be found here.

GTi-R braided brake lines were also fitted as part of the caliper test fitment. These also worked without issue, mating up to the stock N13 copper line & J30 calipers.

A replacement performance battery arrived today from Fullriver. It’s able to recover from deep discharge should it occur. A permanent  battery charger has also been fitted to help keep battery life high.
