TF★ - Evo 8/9 Brembo Caliper adaptor bracket - Stainless Steel! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

tougefactory · 02-22-2011, 05:21 PM

Hey guys,

After looking at poor fitting brackets on customers cars, we designed our own bracket that properly centers your caliper on the rotors. Also the bracket is designed so that you don't have to grind down the calipers to fit. The bracket is stainless steel for strength and anti corrosion properties. This kit comes with shortened bolts for the bracket and spindle.

This bracket will fit S13 and S14.

Currently these are in production and will be ready for shipping in 3-4 wks.

We're offering a Pre-Order special for those you purchase them before will received automatic $20 off of the total price!

Put in "TF20" in the Coupon section when checking out for the discount.

Click here to order the TF★- Evo caliper bracket !

Evo caliper uses stock 240SX brake lines. But you will need to upgrade to the 1-1/16" Z32 brake master cylindar.

We sell the master cylindar that already has the flare fitting built in to fit the 240sx as well.

tougefactory · 02-24-2011, 01:25 PM

Evo 8/9 front rotors

tougefactory · 02-25-2011, 11:32 AM

Evo Brembo's on our S14!!

drftnby · 02-25-2011, 12:04 PM

Can the sti calipers be used also? If so I'm down!

speedgod^s13 · 02-26-2011, 02:05 AM

Awesome design. What grade is the hardware that's included, since it wasn't stated.

sil180sx · 02-27-2011, 02:59 PM

/?any chance you guys make some that fit the evo 10??

tougefactory · 03-01-2011, 06:08 PM

As if right now these only fit the Evo 8/9 calipers, STI and EVO X do not share the same mounting points.

All the hardware is SAE Grade 8.8

I know what you mean....

, the trouble I had to go through to make mine fit, then I found out it doesn't center on the rotor!! Grrr.. Then had to mill down the bracket to center it on my rotors..

So much trouble and I paid more for the brackets. Plus it didn't come with Bolts/washers.

Sell your STI calipers and get a set of Evos.. They are much much cheaper than STI calipers..

My$800S14 · 03-02-2011, 07:42 AM

+1 on the price for the BMC, will that BMC work on an S14 with factory ABS?
Also what are you running on the rear?

Thanks,
Dave

The bracket was design for the front only.

Pm's being sent in regards to the Z32 BMC.

tougefactory · 03-07-2011, 04:22 PM

Quick update...

The Brackets should be in-stock in 2weeks.

K_style · 03-07-2011, 05:10 PM

How is stock EVO rotors work with bracket?
I have EVO9 brakes and calipers sits higher so make rotors smaller size that what it should be..
my break pad worn unevenly... out side of pads don't even get used....

an_orange_s2k · 03-08-2011, 10:22 AM

awesome im definitely picking up a set when i upgrade

tougefactory · 03-08-2011, 03:42 PM

With our brackets you will need to use any STOCK sized Evo rotor, meaning the pads will wear evenly. You can see in the above picture (in post #19) that the whole pad is touching the rotor.

mr.li · 03-10-2011, 05:01 PM

wat grade s.s is used??? there seems to very little threaded section, asking because it "looks" like too little material for the bolts. hope u understand wat im talkin bout

SoBay240guy · 03-10-2011, 06:02 PM

http://zilvia.net/f/tech-talk/93748-...ml#post1272584

you designed these brackets???

really are you sure...

and yes mr. Li you are correct there is too little thread engagement (esp considering it is stainless and not cr/mo steel), there is far less R&D in these parts than TF is letting on, considering several people/companies have brought these to market (and some have even sold quite a few sets and have gotten rave reviews!!!)

Yes, we did design the brackets from scratch. We found few of the brackets that were made didn't center the calipers to the rotors or had fitment issues. Not sure what you're trying to get at but there's only so much you can change on these brackets because of the fitment and mounting points.

We did test the brackets on our cars and have not had any problems.

Thanks!

SoBay240guy · 03-14-2011, 03:16 PM

are you even going to try and address your potential customers concerns of minimal thread engagement, or the request for material type?

and from scratch would suggest you came up with and executed the idea yourself...but you already admitted this was in response to "poor fitting" brackets on others cars, so we know you had atleast one set of someone else's brackets in your hands before you started "from scratch"

I'm just trying to keep things honest here,

tougefactory · 03-16-2011, 05:27 PM

Sobay>> Here's a simulation test we did for our brackets before we even tested on the car. We used a chassis weight of 2700lbs, braking force of 1.5G's, which is what most of the cars will see with race compound tires at a race track.

You can see from the stress and displacement test that the minimal thread area you're concerned about does not see much stress, hence we were able to design it that way.

As for the material, unless your car is pulling close to 5G's during braking, our bracket will not distort or deform.
