Bambridge 966 brackets

[Gazmitchell]

Hi can anyone tell me if these are still available ? Messaged Bambridge but no joy as yet but I thought I read somewhere he was not making anymore ?

Thanks

[Gazmitchell]

Anyone ?

[Error404]

No Kev isn't making them anymore as far as I know

[Gazmitchell]

Hmm ok thanks mate ... Need to find some then !

[andy10v]

Try VRS?

[Gazmitchell]

Yup. Will give it a go.. Thanks got got hold of some 966 calipers and want to get em under standard Avus ' so though only thin Bambridge brackets will achieve this or can I get the seat ones or similar ?

[andy10v]

Or ask Albert to make a set, if Bambridge has retired Albert looks like the new forum machinist for parts.

I guess if you got 323 brackets you could get them machined down to take 314 discs if there is enough material.

I would see if you can just get 314 brackets though if you want them to go straight under Avus 16s.

He said he can but needs my caliper to make but don't fancy shipping it tbh.....

[Gazmitchell]

So further to the above I've a set of 996 TT calipers and I've read all the upgrade threads and it's confused me even more

I would like to get these calipers under 16" Avus standard alloys and I also have Bambridge spacers on the car, can this be achieved with the RS2 brackets? And if so what disc size would be best. Cheers all

As Gmac78 did 314mm discs with spacers, as far as I know there is even more space under Avus wheels...

Ok Ta mate, mine are the 6 spoke Avus on the 1996 aby...

[andy10v]

What are the part numbers on the callipers?

996.351.425
996.351.426

For 314s under 16s.

[Gazmitchell]

Looking closely last 3 digits are 429 and 430 ? Been refurbed and hard to see last digit

[andy10v]

I think those are 996 turbo/gt3 calipers? 142mm bolt spacing, normal 996/boxter s are 130mm.

I think they are supposed to be used with 330mm discs, 32 or 34mm thick.

People have used them with 323 discs, I think you need to keep an eye on pad wear. Will at VRS used to have brackets for 429/430 on 323 discs, but they do not fit under 16s.
