Futbus sells one for a 16", lovely bit of kit. Maybe when this set of drums/pads wear out

would not be a better idea looking at upragding your fronts before the rears,in fact why bother doing the rears,just the fronts is plenty good enough,just now im running t4 vented disks & bmw servo ...plenty stopping power over the standard 16" set up for what the price of the disks a little skimm and second hand servo for a tenner...i can lock up the fronts on tarmack effortlessly:)

Cor, you people do like spending more than you need to, and looking further than you need to.
We have these on the shelf.

About £200 each for genuine.
About a week to get.
Plenty of people making them on the aftermarket, shouldn't be too hard to find at sensible money.
ATE, Brembo and TRW are the ones you will have heard of, all showing as available.
I'll have a ring about next week.

Tell you what, stating the bleeding obvious, but adjusting the rear brakes makes a fair bit of difference doesn't it :lol:
