ZEPHYR BRAKES

My first car was a Mk3 and 30 years later I find myself owning two more and in the process of rebuilding them. Does anyone do a bolt-on Wilwood front brake kit in a choice of disc sizes? The front hub has the same four-bolt disc mounting as the Capri and Escort, which are readily available. Pete Horgan New Zealand A “We don’t do a specific kit for the Mk3 Zephyr,” explains Scott Gillespie from Rally Design, who are Wilwood’s European distributor. “It may be possible to put one together using different parts from a range of kits, but without a Zephyr strut to hand, it’s very difficult to be sure our parts would go together on there.” “However, we’ve put together a Design Guide (downloadable in pdf format) from the Rally Design website), which goes through the steps of building your own brake kit, which is a much better option, and popular with our customers. “We have a range of universal brake parts (brackets/bells) that are drilled to fit the callipers/discs, but not the vehicle. You use your own data from the car to make the modifications to these parts — this does require access to machine facilities, though.”
