- Jon Webster’s epic front brakes kit!
A great diy upgrade for all C5 enthusiasts.
This is the best mod anyone can do on a C5 they plan to use. You can refit the front wheel cover, but you do need to cut part of the cover to clear the caliper.
Or leave off the cover and admire the disc brake! It’s all reversible, but you won’t swap back once you use a disc brake .
Jon can be found on the Sinclair C5 Owners Facebook group. He also makes a rear kit. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
this is awesome! Jon told me to come watch this video to see how to fit them as mine arrived today!! super excited to get outside and fit them now. thank you for this!!!
It really is a great upgrade. The best upgrade for sure! So don’t over tighten the bolts, just snugged up so the disc remains flat/not curved in.
Good luck!
My calliper fouls on the rim a bit and is it right that only half the pad grips the disc (I’ve removed all the spacers to bring it down as low as I can
Hey, per our chat - Jon sent the wrong caliper bracket out. It has to be the “F160/R140” one, as that sits 5/6mm lower on the disc and will not foul the wheel rim.
@@griceyboy mega - thanks mate
Back on track thanks to Jon
@@problemchild1976 excellent, is he sending a different bracket, or something else? (Just for anyone reading these comments in the future).
@@griceyboy yeah jon has been awesome and even though I didn’t buy the kit from him (his kit came with the c5 I bought that was all in parts) he had offered to replace - legend
How do I know where to drill through the wheels
Hey,
When you put the disc on and look though the bolt holes, you’ll see that you need to drill every Other spoke(gap) , so all 6 bolts fit (I think it’s 6).
I’m at work today , but if you need help, ask on the Facebook group Sinclair C5 Owners and we can add photos :£
@@griceyboy rgr - the disc is hubcentric and sets the location?
@@problemchild1976 hey, not sure what HubCentric means… :)
@@griceyboy it’s centralises on the hub :)
