This is targeted more for Matt & Dale.
There is interest generated on T'Bricks for the brake hats I got from MVP, we know the issues and changes that are identified on the next version. Now the question: keep or sell, are either of you interested in the second set. Sell one set and keep the second since the brackets were designed based on their measurements.

Let me know your thoughts

You need one set, no? The other set has likely served its purpose. I can't see any reason for keeping it unless Matt has some ideas about some Wilwood stuff on his car, or Viktor, or Jordan, or Mark.... I think Jordan might be somewhere near the top of the "I want them" list.... :wink:

I'd say hang onto them for a while - they're good templates if anything. Dale and I would probably buy them from you for that purpose.

They're not ideal, in that they're missing a few fairly crucial features, but for the properly ingenuitive person, they'd work out just fine.

I don't want to go and design anything better until and unless we uncover some problems on your setup, Ian. For example, I'm quite certain these hats would work with FSL-4 calipers, 12.19" rotors, and Hydra wheels, but how will they work with Gemini wheels, or Galaxy? I'd like to confirm that before I decide if we need more hat & caliper offset. Or, if it looks like more people will want to use SL-6 calipers, we'll need to build that extra 0.200" into the hat offset right off the bat.

Once we know more about what they fit and what they don't, then we'll know if the MVP hats are worth selling or keeping.

I'm pretty high on that "do" list. But I am picking up an 850 to flip in the next week or so here, so that will eat into my car fund until its sold. But once its gone I'll be alllll over it. As long as a downpayment doesn't cut into it either, which it shouldn't.
