Specs for EBC 310mm conversion bracket?
I just ordered some of the EBC 310mm floating rotors for my F2. I know they stopped making the caliper relocation brackets (BRK#15S) some time ago. I was wondering if someone who actually has them has or can take measurements of them so I can get a set made. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We've been waiting on those measurements for almost a year. Someone from Canada got on this site and said "hey everyone, I found those EBC brackets for 310mm rotors and when I get them I get the measurements out to all you guys." Thats what he said and like I said we've been waiting for almost a year. So dont hold your breath.

I was wrong, we've been waiting for over a year. Search "larger rotors for F2 rims", and you will see where I kind of pissed him off a little bit. I got lucky about a year ago and found and bought a used Ferodo 310mm rotors AND the Ferodo brackets complete kit.

Ya I know coalminerfrank, you mean dakiota. I've been reading through a lot of posts on here for awhile so I know what you mean. I was just curious if anyone else happened to have the brackets, I know JNS used to on his race F2, but he sold that I think. How much different is your ferodo kit with the bracket?

Yes, Dakiota. The Ferodo kit is not as robust looking as the EBC kit but I'm sure its more than up to the task or they would not have made and sold it. I actually made a homemade set by copying the Ferodo brackets, out of 1/2 inch aluminum flat stock and some aluminum spacers. It took quite a while with bandsaw, drill press, hacksaw, bench beltsander etc. But, with all that snow we had last winter and being laidoff, I had the time. Then throw in a couple Triumph Bonneville OEM front rotor and I have a homemade 310mm oversize brake kit that was/is way cheaper the the Ferodo or EBC kit.

Nice! Ya I'm gonna start taking measurements for the brackets once the rotors arrive in a week or so.....gonna have a local machine shop cnc them for me....I'll most definitely will post some pics as I go, thanks for the response frank.

I was surprised when I got the Ferodo brackets that the "spacing out" was not the same at the top as the bottom, they were 2 different measurements. You would think that since the original F2 rotors are 270 mm or so(cant remember) diameter and the BIG NEW ONES will be 310 mm that you could just move the mounting position out 20 mm. Half the increased size diameter. But I dont know.
Does that make any sense. Maybe they should be two different measurements like the Ferodos because of the radius of the bigger rotors.

Ya my buddy was saying something about half the size out too. Ya the mounting points for top & bottom are different, I can see that in the pics of the EBC brackets.
Ya it'll definitely be interesting to take the measurements. Once I get the definitive measurements I'll actually post them on here for everyone. If I actually had them like dakiota it'd take me a few hours to post them here. I guess he just got really 'busy' or just plain forgot about us. It's all good though. I think everyone has heard so much about these mythical brackets that nobody cares anymore because nothing ever materialized of them for 99% of us. Anyways I'll keep everyone updated.
