[Jayjmac]

Hmmm... decisions. We will see what the festive period brings or doesn’t being during this lock down!
You know I’m not in to just coming in for one thing at a time.

thanks

@BognorMotors do the t32 kits still come up occasionally and do they still fit the T6.1?

TIA

T32 larger front brakes are excellent, I can’t imagine needing anymore braking capability and they wear well.
As for red, all seems a bit 1970’s to me.

Yes I have a brand new T6.1T32 kit in stock..... as well as some more Revo/Alcon 380mm kits arriving in the new year

OK they are big money, but the very best of quality.

Maybe the T32 kit, painted, would work and be nicely under your budget as even the Forge will break the bank.

Would you repaint one of the t32 kits you have taken off vans, if so what cost, I want orange.
Is there a t32 swop for the rear as well.

[BognorMotors]

Yes of course.

 

[Paul Binding]

Yes of course.

What sort of cost to include fitting as well please Oli

 

[BognorMotors]

Give me a shout tomorrow

Do you know if the T6.1 T32 340mm brake set up will fit on a T6 T28?

I’m taking my Revo Alcon 340mm brakes off my T32. They have done 20,000 miles, have done two sets of pads and now I need discs as well. At a cost of £1500 for discs and pads it’s a complete waste of money against the cost and performance of the stock 340mm setup. If you have a T32, stick to the original set up. They are amazing!!! The Alcon’s were no better in 99% of driving scenarios and my van is not driven slowly. Add to that the horrendous level of noise from them, I would never have bought them had I known what I know now. Steer clear of them. The only brakes I want now are either stock 340mm or Surface Transform’s carbon ceramics if there is anyone out there interested in taking the job on. Many thousands yes, but over the next 100k miles probably a similar price to replacing the Alcon setup every two years and I would have the most amazing brakes that would embarass any steel setup. If there is anyone else out there who is minded to go down that route, or a brake specialist interested in taking it on, please do get in touch.

Tbh I’ve been running my T6.1 T32 4m for nearly three years I’m very hard on them most of the time because I drive very aggressively. I’ve warped the disks about four times now even with better pads, I’d like the revo ones but way too much any deals going before I end up in the back of some idiot?

 

[BognorMotors]

Have you looked at the Brembo/AP Racing 362mm setup we offer ? We’ve got demo vehicles if you want to have a try.

This is the best performing big brake kit in the market for the Transporter, from quality suppliers and not Chinese.

Read this twice, so the driver that gets rear ended is the idiot?

Could always try calming down a bit.
