BTW, the Kirkham Billet Girling calipers are $5,000 and they're only available with the original tubular type suspension, which is $10,000.

I think my Wilwood brakes with billet suspension work OK.

If I did buy a new set of wheels, then I'd probably buy a set of fake Halibrand-looking (gold-ish) wheels from Vintage.

Ya. My Wilwoods are looking finer by the minute.
Still, would've been nice to put Hali's on, no?

Yes, mainly because with magnesium, I could drop the weight of my Kirkham 20-30 lbs. And I think I'd notice that weight difference alot.....going "Vroom Vroom" as I sit in my car.....in the garage.

Certainly, my concrete garage floor would thank me. Less potential for cracks.

Seriously, if Fran comes along again, like Halley's Comet, I could be a magnesium buyer again. But you would have to sort out the offset issue for me, since I can't do calculus any longer.

My front Wilwoods clear fine-but don't got none on the Jag rear...

Come to think of it, us fakey-do pilots don't really need brakes with all the torque...
