Was at the track today and had the car jacked up so I snapped a picture of the Porsche Brembo adapter which mounts my 380 calipers to the uprights. Part number are:
Caliper adapters: 997 351 505 02
Adapter bolts: 999 073 313 09
Hard brake lines: 996 355 587 03 and 996 355 588 03

Caliper to wheel clearance is pretty tight..

Much appreciated!
What's your current wheel of choice?

powdrhound

Finspeed 18x9 et47 and 18x12 et40

993GT

Really like the Finspeed's wheels...have been thinking that or CCW for wheels...
Thanks again,
Rob

I used to run CCWs, had 3 sets over the last few years. They're great wheels but tires tend to rotate on them which is annoying. I had the wheel bead roughed up, used hairspray, and even 3M spray adhesive. The 3M worked best but the tires still moved on the wheels a bit. Finspeed have a knurled bead option and that locks the tires on the wheels. Works beautifully. Tires don't move a millimeter.

goodpoint; Funny enough, I was having some tire rotation issues on the rears(on power), yet no issues with fronts under full braking(threshold, or heavy ABS testing), with OE 'Twists'.
Would think with billet-machined 'track' wheels, most manufactures would automatically knurl or rough-machine finish the bead area...

I had never heard of Finspeed. Very nice looking product

powdrhound

Highest quality track wheel you can get for these cars in my opinion. Very strong, very lightweight, dead true, and made in the US. Tire don't slip on them and they're good looking to boot...

To my point. They will build whatever blue prints you supply. Here is the latest slot design I have changed to. Time for some zinc plating.

Very type 3 looking good stuff man!

F1CrazyDriver

Thank you. Not anywhere near as good looking as your 4.1 crank in the 997 forum. I took a glance at type 3 and Ap. Combine both, changed the j hook slightly. Didn't measure any but a general idea.I have learned car manufactures/aftermarket reverse engineer each other stuff all the time. As long as it's not a 100% copy like that tuner that copy your exhaust (and used your exhaust) for lost part it's okay.

LOL that thing is fun thanks! Ah yes the industry can be a bit like that sometimes I know... Shame really I noticed now another exhast company that LONG said our exhaust looses power on a GT3 (lol!) now two years later has a copy of it that they sell and it somehow makes MORE power than ours! Not sure how it went from -ive to +ive

I really do like the look of these rotors. I'm kicking myself for not noticing earlier as I have a customer who went with some other two piece ones on his tt Next time around (he tracks a lot) we will do yours (face palm!).

F1CrazyDriver

Thank you for the kind words Alex, again. Yes these are mostly for track guys. Cheap consumables vs others in the market. It would be a huge accomplishment if you carry my product as I know how picky you are.

I will say, for many things I'm doing for the GT3, Sharkwerks is the platinum star of level of service/ product quality that i'm trying to emulate. A very high aspiration you guys have set for me. keep up the amazing work.
