WARNING Jag Rear Ventilated disk upgrade.
The rear brake upgrade worked well at Wakefield, pulled the car up and didn't have any heat related problems at all.
BUT!!!!
For all those guys out there that have the JagArye upgrade kits,
can I please suggest you check the 20 (or so) bolts that hold the two-piece rotor together?
During the 30 laps that Judy and I did on the Sunday we lost 15 bolts from the left rotor.
They worked 4/5ths loose before being knocked out by the brake caliper on the way through.
Would hate to think what would have happened if we did another 20 laps.
The bolts on the other rotor were also very loose.
I think a bit of heat resistant loc-tight may be a good preventative measure.
I'm going down to see Gary at JagArye today to see what he has to say.
Will keep you posted.
