Another Disc brake question

Post by dnac »

Hi, sorry to ask so many questions, but they are flying around in my head like nobodys buisness.

Anyway, I have seen a mog for sale that has the old Marina disc conversion, It is a little dearer than some without the conversion done.

Or I could buy a standard mog for less and buy the ford conversion with the money left over.

I guess what I am really asking is, which is better, obviously the ford is newer, but are the marina ones up to the job?

Has the ford kit come about due to more available donors (marinas are well scarce now)

TwincamTurbo52, can you please PM me with the details as that's not the kind of behaviour we like.

No, I'm just leaving the forum and deleting all the help I have posted. Sick of it. You have a serious problem with this side I'm afraid and no wonder others warned me not to post on here.

Deleted, after seeing some of the things which have been written. Sympathy from me evaporated.

The Ital based disc kit is a very good one, and can be further upgraded with better discs and pads to provide even better braking. The reason we have opted for the Ford based kit is the availability of parts and upgrades on these. However the vented disc calipers are becoming expensive to buy and have reconditioned, which is why we are designing two new kits one a solid disc based the other retaining the vented discs but better 4 pot calipers.
:D :wink:

The Frod kit can come with both Minor or Ford as standard or any other PDC upto 4.5" so long as it has the same centers as either the minor or Ford, otherwise were into bespoke hubs, which certainly will not be keeping the cost down. :wink:
