2. The supplier of the components is my business. You are free to make assumptions and guesses as you see fit.
In an effort to keep this thread on the track, as mentioned above I'll post more details on a separate thread as soon as we have the parts fitted to the car. I'm sure you will have many more comments to make then.

Pics of first 964 with 997 turbo carbon calipers and 350mm cast rotors. I would have beat you to the carbon rotors if I could afford them. Have 15mm spacers made to go under bolt to space out for 380mm carbon rotor when I can afford them. So in a round about way I was the first.

I think the credit for taking the thread off its ORIGINAL topic probably falls at your feet . . . .
Irrespective of what my examples are fitted to, carbon brakes have been available through Movit for at least two years. Hardly "the first carbon brakes you can buy if you want them"

Great colloquialism !!
I'm not sure what it is that makes you think I'm not "chilled" ? I merely pointed out that the OP blamed me for having taken his thread off topic when clearly he'd done so himself.
But you're correct, it's no big deal (and if the OP wishes to defend his erroneous comments with regards to the availability of carbon brake rotors, I'm sure he's more than capable of doing so without you championing his cause)

Colin's comments weren't really to do with the availability of rotors, hell anyone can buy them. But AFAIK, there is nowhere i can ring up and say "I want a carbon rotor brake kit for my 964 please" so as such, colin will be the first to offer an "off the shelf complete kit", which was his point.

FWIW if you were to speak to Guido at Movit (you'll find him incredibly helpful)
you'd find out that ST make carbon discs in any size up to 410mm dia, they're thus available as standard sized replacements for ANY car if so desired.
You're seem a practical bloke and would thus know that bells, spacers and mounting hardware (if needed) are all easily sourced, in the UK.

Who cares who's first... Thanks Colin for continuing to develop the 964 platform!
