Always interested in better brakes for my 911T on 3" A calipers.
Who makes the mounting blocks for the radial mounted calipers?
Igot mine as a kit (excludinh the calipers) from TRE Motorsport in the USA.
No doubt there's an enterprising soul in this country can/has also made a kit.

Thanks.
I looked at this about 10 years ago and found nobody in the UK.
Went off the idea when kept on reading the early Box calipers were getting rare and hence £££

Did 2 things to the 'fleet'.
Cleaned the AOS tubes from the AOS to the inlet plenum on the Boxster. Suspecting oil in the tubes (3 of them) I was not dissapointed.
Might stop the recent small white smoke cold starts. Took 45 mins.
Removed the glass etc from my Durant driver's side mirror to get a tighter grip on mirror position once set. Had a tendency to vibrate very slowly out of position. Surprising easy to get it almost too tight. Waiting on the black repainted bezel to dry for tomorrow.
Which meant I had no excuse but to mow the lawns.

Yeah, it's modern, but in my defence it's phenomenal for what it is. Factory pick up and its first service was at Porsche in Stuttgart as well.

Nice - I must admit I would have a Macan diesel in a heartbeat for daily duties

Or an RS6 if I won the lottery and could afford to run it (and maybe a chauffeur to protect my licence)….

Some of us are busy in the garage!
To save working on the LOLA in the winter (no heating in garage)
The engine is very dirty underneath, the head studs etc all need checking and the valve clearances checked too.
The engine chassis is very spanner chipped so needs some tlc, all best done before it get cold.

The flat fan looks impressive, presume it offers superior cooling?
It was loud enough before
