Hawk Rear Brakes

[Paul Eustace]

Hi Phil,
If it helps I have an almost new or slightly used set of Lancia Beta handbrake cables you are welcome to. Just pm me and I'll post them to you.

I used my Lancia Beta Calipers to get through the IVA test and then upgraded my rear brakes to electronic hand brake calipers and HiSpec Ultralite 4 pot calipers.

Best regards, Paul

I'm using 156 for the next build Phil. But it's 5 stud. And a different carrier. And I haven't started the handbrake cabe search yet..

Hi Paul

What were the electronic one's off ?
Are they actuated by a simple on/off switch ?
Cheers

Well... I had a great idea !

Someone let me borrow the Rear Disc (Ø276mm x 10mm thick), Caliper, Caliper Mounting bracket from a 2005 Alfa 3.2 GT.

Guess what.... it bolts directly onto the Hawk Rear Hub, the disc runs perfectly central, the clearance between the wheel and the Caliper is about 10mm, the caliper hand brake bracket is well inside the rim and is slightly closer to the handbrake so it all looks good !

I have now purchased 2 new Discs cross drilled and grooved, 2 new calipers, new mounting pin kit, set of pads, anti pad rattle clips !, all for about £170... bargain

If Craig at LB say's it was his suggestion I will stop buying the biscuits !...LOL.............................................ok.............................................................. Thanks Craig it was a good, cost effective idea...

Are GTs 5x98mm Phil?

Are GTs 5x98mm Phil?

Hi Chris... yes 5x98 !
Everything just Bolts together !

Hi all
Well all of the new parts have arrived !
The only item that was more difficult to source was the caliper Carrier (Lucas 7795/1)... fortunately Craig had a set of a "Breaker"... thanks Craig

The Carriers have be thoroughly cleaned and are painted red and hanging above the Aga to dry !

Will post some photo's when it's all together

Cheers

I think I got a set from Germany, 164 for the front, 156 for the back. But yes, the carriers were the hardest parts of the brakes to source!
