thumbsup My new data logger turned up a couple of days ago and I'm just digging through my box of collected pikey (i.e. fcuked if I'm paying "motorsport" prices) sensors and wondered about how viable it was to tee a brake pressure sensor into the system somewhere, as it appears I have one from a previous Audi. Bosch specs for it say it's good for up to 250bar but had no idea if that was okay. Just need to find the correct Tyco/AMP wiring connector for it now and work out where it can go. Ideally I'd tee into one of the two lines coming out of the master cylinder but as that's upstream of the ABS actuator, not sure whether that's a good idea or will even be accurate. :unsure:

 

 

Take a piccy and I'll have a dig round for a connector and crimp tool :)

Took these to blyton. ..there are some tough spots here on brakes. Ie 115mph braking to 30mph ish. Yellowstuff did the usual smells and varied friction on first session. (Bed in) After that I gave the brakes massive grief and they worked flawlessly. Brilliant stopping ability.

Random question - are these the same as the old Metro 4-pot.

They look very very similar

Didn't Lee have them fitted at one stage?

Or were they hi-tech or something?

I have asked Vockey to see if he still has his pictures of the brackets he made but is unable to find them, I wondered did anyone else have or save a copy of these ? Thanks Lee
