325mm Wilwood Discs & Pads - which ones?

[retepetsir]

I recently acquired an H-Reg Pulsar which was advertised as coming with 325mm Wilwood front brakes, and 4-pot calipers.

Is there an easy way to find out the model number of the calipers to know which type are fitted to the car?

Looks like I'm going to need at least new pads and I don't have a receipt with info on the brakes!

Thanks :-D

Or and question is, are they Wilwoods at all?

I think I've seen a number on the caliper so I'll check again tomorrow.

Look more like Hi-Specs to me, then again could easily be an older model of Wilwoods as they look nothing like my 330mm Wilwoods, completely different caliper, but as I say could easiliy be an older model/different model in the range to the one I have.

Take the pads out and draw the outline of them; you'll probably find that pad manufacturers can match them from that.

Thanks for the quick response. Godspeed looks like a possibility after a quick google so I'll go from there.

Going by this website: http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/hp_discs/hp_disc.htm they seem to offer 326mm discs so I'll get the measuring tape out tomorrow!

They look like godspeed calipers to me.

i will second that, as am running the same kit on one off my pulsars;-)

 

[retepetsir]

Where's the best place to order new discs/pads?

 

[pulsar350R]

try giving gobspeed a ring directly to see if they have them in stock, if not then try "brake international" they allway stock pads for all make/models

Looks like Godspeed, which use old AP calipers from a volvo/austin princess IIRC.
