Is it the wp ones ? I was going to be running these some years back as a few of the Vwr cup cars had them fitted plus I think jonny c had some on his ed30, maybe check his build thread. I never ran them as I went for the Vwr caparo setup

They're the Project Mu versions, a superb setup, but parts are (or at least were) an arseache to get. Ensure you've got everything you need and they will be fine.

They are WP. The pmu ones were good.

The caparo ones are average.  Just an absolute rip off, bearing in mind I know how much vwr buy them in for.

VWR  had a lot of issues with the WP's. Hence why they stopped using them.

It will be hard to find replacement discs to fit wp bells, measure up the bell size, distance between holes & how many + diameter of disc. Have a look at AP Racing website & compare their techincal drawings.

If no luck, PM me

AP don't do 16 fixings............classic Far East Fayre these

Regarding PMU I've got discs pads bobbins and the odd piston seal in stock and new. If anybody needs them.

Everybody copy's AP anyway so if you're missing anything on the rebuild let me know, the pad shape looks like 3215 but they come in different heights and looking at that rotor the wrong heights been used.
