So what is the disk size?Today I had the font wheels off, and I noticed that the Performance brake discs were not perfectly centered around the hub. When installing I modified the wheel bearing by removing the 3 centering taps vs to the other option of drilling the new brake disc. I re-centered the disc with the wheel bolts and re-tightened the singe allen screw that is holding the disk to the wheel bearing. There is some space for the brake disc to move, I will check again soon if it has moved or was this another BMW workshop brilliant installation.
It is hard to see in the pictures, but the brake disc is not in the middle.
I bought a few hub centric rings, when they arrive I will see if I could modify them to hold the brake disc in the center. If that is not possible, I might take the discs off, drill holes for the original wheel bearing centering taps and then re-install the taps to the bearings.
Any more pictures of the install of the rears? What does "with link lines swapped" mean? (excuse my ignorance)Fronts are BMW PBK and brackets as per threads on the forum.
Rear set, fully refurbished Porsche boxster rear calipers with link lines swapped. The brackets are modified M3 brackets (designed for this set up but with an M3 in mind) whilst using OE discs.
With stainless lines it's just a massive improvement
Can you get one set for me also?Frits, I hope you don't mind me re-posting up the pictures of the bracket?
A good friend has had caliper brackets made before. If I can get some dimensions from someone with Frits' brackets, that would be helpful in getting these made in the US
Marlow, do you still have contact details for making brackets?A little update on brackets here in Europe.
I have somebody in Northern Ireland, who can supply the brackets now. Any interest, drop me a PM and I supply the contact details.

Or the spec drawings/CAD designs....I'm pretty sure any good machine shop could whip these out, provided we have the correct dimensions. I have a set of 135 calipers collecting dust at the moment. I'm considering figuring out the dimensions myself and having a shop do them for me, if someone on the Board doesn't step up....<shrug>Marlow, do you still have contact details for making brackets?

I am unable to PM, but am interested in the brackets if you happen to still have them.I have a set of these brackets if anyone is interested, never used before, PM if you want to know more
If he doesn’t reply I have 1 set of the original brackets still available.I am unable to PM, but am interested in the brackets if you happen to still have them.
The brackets are for using the 135i brake calipers, correct? If so I am very interested.If he doesn’t reply I have 1 set of the original brackets still available.
If there was enough interest I could see about having new ones made. I work daily with a good machine shop that wouldn’t charge outrageous prices.
