Just come to my attention that there are other brackets being manufactured and sold which are a so called direct copy of the brackets I supply.
I would simply urge anybody looking to buy a fitting kit to do their homework.
There is a reason I can't have my stuff made for the price of these other brackets and that's quality.
Mine are 7075 Ali with M12x1.25 helicoil inserts, they're manufactured from the material Boeing make wing spars from and then hard anodised.
They are strong, tested to destruction and have suffered Fatigue analysis , they are manufactured in the same facility that Red Bull Racing have many of their components made.
There's a certain Leicester based company that have been playing catch up with me for a number of years, they simply wait for me to develop a bracket and then copy it. That's are far as I'll be drawn, but consider quality consider backup and also ask the question before you buy about product liability insurance copies of mine are available on request.
These are brakes folks, let's not mess about.
I've had a call today from a guy who's bought some and put simply they don't fit and are not even helicoiled. Car is on the ramp at APS labour isn't cheap
It's important to remember that it's not just the first owner of these brackets that will be fitting them, they will inevitably end up in the classifieds many times .......mine will last ages.
I'm really busy developing kits for global markets now for £100k Audis but I still log into here first when I get home, I enjoy putting these sort of NQSBBK kits together and would hate to find myself not able to through a lack of support.
I can't patent a shape nor is it my exclusive right to sell this sort of stuff to the GTI driving public, I would however ask you all to consider safety, quality and longevity before parting with your hard earned. I've got about 13 kits left and am reducing the price of the kit including hoses and super fine special order bolts now to
£199 inc VAT plus shipping. I probably won't make any more after that.
If the bracket doesn't have
www.vagbremtechnic.com and CC1037 engraved via CNC onto it then buyer beware.
Hopefully we'll get some pictures up in a bit to show people what to avoid and what their hundred odd quid gets them.
Sorry to rant, had it happen many times previously and always a sad day
