Reply to "Building a Gr4 replica"

I guess it's time for an update on the progress on my gr4 car which, well, is close to none. The car still sits in the paintshop and not much has happened. Hopefully things will get going this month - atleast that's what he has promised.

Meanwhile a few parts have turned up. It took AP RACING 6 month to finish the rear calipers for the car. Again, these have to be homologated for them to be used in historic events here in europe.

I had the choice between the Girling 16/4s made by Bg Development and the AP Lockheeds of AP RACING historic range. I went with the APs (remember, I have AP 8-piston calipers for the fronts), as they are lighter than the Girlings and have a greater brake pad area. They are availible with different piston sizes, including the 41.3 mm homologated for the Gr4 Pantera. Also, a feature I liked was that they have blank lug mounts, meaning I can drill them to match the bolt pattern on the rear uprights and thus avoid using adapters.

Here's a Picture:
