Plus 2 front brakes in baby Elan

[Dieschelan]

Hi

If I convert the brakes of my s3 to plus 2 specs, shuold I need plus 2 brake calipers, discs and caliper bracket only?
Should I need also plus 2 hubs?
Taking a picture of the front brakes of a plus 2, there isn’t space for the calipers if I put the standard hubs...

Cheers

Diego

you need plus 2 brake calipers, discs and caliper bracket only.
I fitted +2 to my Elan Sprint using parts as above no problem.

Morning Alan,

Hope all is well. Did you retain the servo and or change the master cylinder?

Have a good Sunday,

Hi Rob,
i've kept the Servo and Original Master Cylinder.
The brake pedal is very light.
I think you could remove the Servo and have a heavier pedal, personal taste i suppose.
Maybe one day i will blank off the Servo and see if the Brakes are not too heavy without.
There's a good choice of different Brake Pads for the P16 Calipers to suit everyone
I've been busy on the other cars at the moment.
Have a nice Sunday Rob.

Go for the +2 spindles as well. They’re thicker and stronger. The stock ones can fail with hard drives on sticky tires

Where did this "Baby" elan start.? The only thing I can think, is at one time Ford made a full size sedan with the name Elan.

I think you also need new uprights to accommodate the +2 spindles.

On my Sprint i didn't put the +2 spindles because it has knock on wheels. Not needed if knock on wheels

Agree with Alan.
I took the servo out, nothing but trouble!
The brakes are fantastic, although I think I could do better than the green stuff pads.
The balance still seems about right despite the single circuit . The original M/C works fine in my opinion.
