How wide is that big AP caliper? Is that for custom rotors or do they have AP disc for that?

Bro.. I can send you the full res pics if you want I don't have any more Alcon pics.. didn't take that many. Had 600,000 sq feet to cover.
Eh why do you say Alcon looks better? Just the color? The quality of both is about the same.. quality pistons, seals, fasteners.. monoblock, etc.
Shaun said:How exactly do you gather that the Alcons are designed stronger? The AP X-beam is the butchest caliper I've ever seen. Monoblock and massive bridge as part of it!
Thanx bro...Shaun said:Ok sending you the full res pics
Shaun said:Monobloc material is very important. I know that AP uses some very stiff metal matrix composites esp in their Monoblocs. Alcon probably does too. I do know what both use pressure-formed billet.
Shaun said:np Eric.
Yah modulus of elasticity - stiffness - to minimize deflection under load.
Actually it would have been right up your alley now that I think about it. I will post a portion of the 1000 pics I took, sometime soon in the IT folder.. specially for you in the IT folder. Mostly mechanical and electrical components, as well as the CNC or semi-digital machinery.
Whisky_Tango said:Thanx for ur generous and thoughtful gesture. However no offence bro... if its specially for me, I would prefer if you can send them to my email as this will not chalk up the forum's space.
But if you think tat those are informative, please post them in the Brake folder for all of us?
Cheers bro!
Tanzy said:Shaun,
Thinking of increasing rear brake power. It's too front biased now. Locking up the fronts easily causing understeer. Getting Barry to source 4 pot rears and steel hoses for me.
Shaun said:it's not about brakes.. about other things. Actually I thought Barry, Allan, Shawn, and potentially a few others, might enjoy them too.
