Default Found Big Brake Conversion Parts

Although I sold my 964 last year I'm still finding various parts

Perhaps someone here can use these:

Wrightwood caliper adapters & bolts so that the big black (or big red) calipers can bolt to the 964 upright. In addition I have the hats for AP rotors that are compatible with the big blacks on a 964 hub.



A few years ago Wrightwood brakes were considered the best front brakes (at least for the 964) for track/racing based on their durability.

Rotors are not included because I re-used the rotors with new hats when I changed to 993 Evo hubs, that do not require any adapter.


My understanding of current pricing is that the entire Wrightwood kit costs about $1800 for the front pair; replacement rotors are about $410 each.
I estimate the cost breakdown: caliper adapters $240, caliper bolts $50, hat hardware $50, rotors $820, hats $640.
Rotors and hardware are available separately from wrightwood through selected retailers like your local Porsche race shop or indy.

Sorry for the delay in obtaining this information.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Checking old notes, the hats were made by Wrightwood for AP rotors, which may have been made to Wrightwood's specs.

There are 12 bolts between the disc and hat. Based on crude measurements it looks like the dimensions are: bolts are on a 192 mm (7 9/16")circle, OD of hat is 206 mm (8 1/8") and height is 46 mm (1 13/16"). The bolt holes are 6 mm (1/4")

The adapter is straight forward and required when mounting the big red/black calipers to the 964 uprights.

BTW can someone please tell me how to reduce the size of the images shown in the posting? I have reduced the file sizes, but they still show oversized.
Thanks

I think you mean Wilwood.

Charlie at Wrightwood is very well known amongst the Porsche motorsport community.

These are not Wilwood parts.

Charlie at Wrightwood Racing has been the supplier to most of the Porsche race teams for Brembo motorsport calipers. He does not sell retail so known in the paddock and to shops.

Oops, sorry. Googled and nothing came up.

So what's your asking price?
