Hi All,
I have this idea in my head, and I am determined to get it to work....Milano Brembos on a Giulietta spider.
I know, I know....no Giuliettas will be harmed in the making of this project. Dolphin safe, too.
I was able to source a set of 101 Giullia caliper brackets, disks, and backing plates. No Calipers. But, who wants to use those anvils anyway?
The Milano Brembos are the way that I want to go. Light, cheap, same piston diameter as the 2 Liter Ate's that the Centerline kit uses, and serving as doorstops all over the place. I have a set already, with a set of stainless calipers ready to be installed.
The trouble is that the bolt spacing on the Girlings is 3.5", while the bolt spacing on the Brembos is 3.0". So, the 101 Girling caliper brackets won't work without modification, and I can't bring myself to cut into them.
I downloaded a free trial verson of a CAD package and went to work. I first took a caliper to the original brackets and recreated them in the CAD program. Next step was to take measurements of the Brembo calipers and how they sit in relation to the disk setup. Then I made the needed modifications to the 101 CAD design.
See some pictures below. I will also include a PDF file that allows you to spin the part around. I think that is pretty cool, even if it doesn't really serve a purpose.
What I need is somebody who can make these parts (left and right version) without charging me $17,500.
What do you think, guys? Can it be done? Who can make these for me?
Cheers,
Jon
