If someone has a 3D printer we can get some blanks out, and then take them to a machine shop for construction.

I was in my garage digging through my old magazines and catalogs and came across a 2010 Dennis Kirk catalog. So I looked up front brake rotors for the F2. EBC oversize 310mm, floating conversion was $215 per side. Just in case anyone was wondering.

It said it was "Oversize 310mm Kit" so I would assume it came with the brackets, since it said "kit". No pics, I think, I'll look again.

$215 per side is pretty typical pricing - actually, it's cheaper than a lot of merchants that still have the rotors, but most of the "kit" listings did NOT actually include the brackets, which makes the use of "kit" kind of pointless.

I paid, I think, $49 USD for the brackets, when I got mine from EBC USA a few years ago, and found the rotors for as low as $175 to $180 per side, if I remember correctly.

In short, the brackets are the "kit" portion, and there is one part number relating to the brackets, which is for both sides, and then there is a separate part number for left and right rotors.

It's no longer offered, I see.
Oh well; a kit has to surface one of these days.
I would REALLY like to experience dual 310mm discs. I have an oversized master cylinder just waiting to be used for such a purpose.
I don't ride on the track, but I hard-charge mountain twisties semi-regularly, and larger diameter rotors would allow me to scrub my speed later, before entering tight turns, making for a slightly more easy-minded experience--especially on tight, steep downhill sweepers, which I've never felt good on, and likely never will.

I contacted EBC and they told me that there were some available in England. With shipping it will be pricey. I was going this route, but I scored a 929 front end and will swap out my F2 forks and brakes. I'll be keeping them until I know the usd forks don't work.

Here's a copy of the info from his email.

If you go to our website EBC Brakes - Brakes for Cars, Motorcycles, Trucks and SUV and click on the WHERE TO BUY section there is a company called Brakes4U who you can order from – UK Sterling price is £66.91 TAX, Thank you Jon Wright.

Thats about $103.00 american before shipping

You sir, are a research God.
It seems that this is still a great price for what you get.
I'm going to see if I can get some this way.
Thanks for the post.
Can you post up a direct link to the BRK15S kit? An initial search didn't find it.
Thanks-

I have researched the UK links and no one lists the brackets. However, I did locate the guy who originally made them for EBC. He is in Washington state and I have contacted his firm to see if a small run can be made. Still looking on the web for someone who might have the brackets.

Will keep everyone posted.
