There is a guide to using RX7 & BMW disc in this brake section.
Also recall somewhere a guide to using RX7 & Pug 306 GTI6 rotors.
I am about to do the RX7/Pug conversion for my next race car.

From memory (someone correct me if I am wrong) Paul Dunstan was producing some very nice caliper to stub adapters, I think.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Hi Matty.

As Craig has suggested I was doing an adapter using S3/S4 callipers and Pug 283mm rotors. I'm going to use this on my current RS project and has been used a a couple of other cars with greqt success. Unfortunately I will not be producing any more at this stage.

Saying that, Ash on this forum had the original idea of using the RX7 calliper with the BMW rotor - see here http://www.classic-ford.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=538&SearchTerms=RX7%2CBMW

Maybe you can contact him regarding the adapter?

If the above is not relevant to your application maybe you can provide the rotor diameter and the offset of the calliper from the strut (to be centred on the rotor) and make an adapter to suit?

If you are able to get the measurements it would be easy to model it and get it profile cut (2 x 8mm brackets and 2 x 5mm spacers).
