Willwood parts

PS if you really want to be different why not fit the AP kit. There are less than a handful of people have them!

Can’t find out much about them ,or where to get them from ?

Try looking at this link, also quoted above:

Or even here

I may be wrong, but I've never known an AP upgrade to be fitted to the 15" wheels....... but that's not to say it can't be done!

Now with that in mind…. Why not upgrade to 16” first!
Lager disks so better feeling in the brake pedal and smoother transition till full lockup.
And a lot more upgrade paths available.

This might not come as a surprise, but I have an OEM S2 set for sale

Dave, the BG Developments section of the above link quote 15 and 16'' AP kits.
They still exist!

The original kit as built by Brian F1Lotus called for 6806 forged Dynalite calipers. Wilwood has introduced a new series, Dynapro, that improves on these in several areas, including the availability of versions with dust seals, and a low-profile version. If you're going to go to the trouble of having new hats and brackets made up, you might investigate
https://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/Calipe ... =120-11481. These almost fit on the original Brian's bracket, but the lugs are about 1mm too tall. When I installed the non-dustseal equivalent on Smaug, I was fortunate enough to have (someone no longer in good standing on LEC) make brackets that fit perfectly. If you're still pursuing the original kit in some way, here is a list of parts I kept from the original Brian kit posts. Ignore the nearly 20 year old prices

The 1.5 thread-pitch is a slightly but not super-fine pitch... it is NOT the standard pitch for a 12mm bolt) 12mm x 35mm bolts, of which you will need 4.
(I ended up buying too-long bolts then cutting them down to the correct length. I'm fortunate to have a truly amazing industrial hardware supply store in San Diego, California)

Here's what I have in my garage. The discs are rusted beyond safe usage, but the rest is in pretty good nick!
I hope this helps and I'll keep you posted if the set will be for sale soon or not.
