Mazda RX7 brakes
I've had this project on the back burner for quite a while. Finally got around to designing the hub. Uses 3rd gen RX7 rotor (294x22) and 2nd gen 4 piston aluminum caliper. The good think about the RX7 rotor is that it has a large diameter to give sufficient brake torque, yet isn't as thick and heavy as the P-car stuff. See here for pics:

I posted some more pictures of the kit. The pics show the caliper placement aswell as the caliper bracket.

Lanner,
Can the hubs (and rotors) be supplied with a different bolt pattern (5 x 4.75")? This setup is just what I have been waiting for but what about rears? Are you going to do a similar Mazda based set?

Yup,
I can machine the hubs for any bolt pattern. The downside is that the rotor needs modification and that is no problem if you purchase pre-modofied rotors from me. The problem arises when you have to replace the rotor....time to find a machine shop. I can make up a jig so that you can drill the rotors on a regular drill press if you wish. As for the rear, the RX7 ebrake actuation cable faces the wrong way when adapting to a T1. It can be done but requires a weird lever 'see-saw' which seems a little exotic. Nothing is impossible, but sometimes I have to evaluate whether the effort matches the reward. Easy, Lanner

Hi Lanner,
so what do you propose to match the mazda's bolting pattern in the rear (with e brake)? Don't you have another killer app for the rear in the work? Also, can you supply your front mazda kit complete with the calipers? Also, what master cyl can be fitted with these without reinventing the whole car? Thanks for your lights bud! Louis ps: its a shame nobody wrote the "fitting big brakes for dummy" yet...

well if you get a CB rear disc brake kit you can order them with out a pattern and then have them drilled. I don't know if Lanner has come up with a rear kit yet, shouldn't be hard though either way.
I have the Rx7 kit and that's what I planned on doing. Rip
