My Advice to Dennis for building his beautiful Wilwood Based Brake System

Hi Dennis

 

Some light reading for you! I agree finding rear calipers with large enough pistons and a built in handbrake is a real challenge. To maximise your choice of calipers with the right size pistons I suggest you fit the Wilwood MC4 Handbrake Caliper alongside  you choice of hydraulic rear caliper which will probably be 4 piston. The Willwood Calipers are a good choice being light strong and relatively cheap. The supplier I used for my Hi-Spec mounts no longer makes them. Speedy cables can make you a handbrake cable to the design you request. I run 15 inch Azev A wheels with my R132 -6 Hi Spec front Calipers and B4 Hi Spec rear calipers on Fiat Coupe/Integrale discs. The Wilwood calipers are better quality and very good value.  

 

Feel free to ask when you have read what I have supplied you. NB the 2018 Word Document first and yes I know I never finished the edit.

 

Rally Design sell the Wilwood Midilite 4 piston caliper at good value which is what I would recommend to you to build mounts for using the 284 x 22 vented discs from a Fiat Coupe/Integrale all round. Probably 38.10 front pistons and 31.80 rear pistons with the standard MC which give a 58% front balance. This caliper is light strong and easy to get mounts made for in alloy as it is a radial mount. If you needed more braking (unlikely) you would add a twin servo available from Car Builder solutions. Pads that work well at low temperature i.e. road spec recommended.

I have attached a filled out calculator with standard S2 vs different Wilwood piston sizes on 284 discs. I would not want to go beyond 57mm on the pedal travel and that assumes you have sorted out the play in all standard S2 pedal box push rods.

284x22x44 Fiat Coupe discs is correct. X19 1500 front hubs for the larger bearings which cope better with the load. S2 front hubs bolt together design makes them very difficult to make safe mounts.
