    [​IMG]Anybody know the maker of these brakes and where they might fit? I can get measurements but I have never seen calipers like those so maybe someone knows where they come from....
    Thanks!

    A better picture would help, but looks like they could be Hurst Airheart.

    Calipers are certainly Wilwood, possibly Dynatites. The hubs look very much like Magnum Axle items. The solid discs suggest it's their light car, eg T bucket, disc kit. Fits 37 on spindles. I have a similar Magnum kit, but the vented disc version.

    Edit. Just been looking for Magnum Axle and it looks like they've vanished. There was a problem with some failing axles which may or may not be connected. But I seem to recall something about P&J taking some of Magnum over ( I could easily be mistaken though) and looking at the P&J catalogue the hubs and rotors of their "super stoppers" look indistinguishable, from an online pic! Ha!

    I'll withdraw my claim that the calipers are Wilwood. They're stylistically very similar but I don't know whether they're Wilwood or not. Sorry about that!

    I'll stand by my comments on the hubs and rotors, well at least for now!

    Thanks, it looks very similar to Wilwood. If I ever need pads I could carve them from something else which is dimensionally close.
