1/16 scale photo etch disk brakes & Calipers

[Mooneyzs]

Hey guys I wanted to ask if any of you knew of anyone that makes 1/16th scale photo etch disk brakes and 1/16th scale resin calipers? if not I am not sure if it would work if I could find the biggest 1/25th scale disks and just measure the diameter and do a conversion and see what size they would be in 1/16th scale. Thanks guys

I have some more modern drilled and slotted resin disc brakes, but the calipers and rotors are molded together. The rotor diameter is approximately .745" (which works out to 12" in 1/16 scale) and the rotor thickness is approximately .060", which can be made thinner if necessary.

Very Cool Casey, I will have to measure the kits rotar/disk break to see what size they have and may go the resin route. Thanks for posting those pics. you wouldn't by any chance be doing just resin rotars would you?

Sorry, no. Just what is shown above, in three different sizes.

No worries man, I am trying to figure a way to incorporate them. You have these on ebay?? I may have to get a set from you

Thanks Paul,

I have been talking to Terry from MAS about part # EFX1440 - 1/16th Scale Early Top Fuel / Funny Car Engine Detailing Kit (photo-etch kit). He is currently out of them at the moment. What he told me was his one photo-etch guy he was using went out of business or decided to stop doing that work and he has another company he is working with and hoping that the guy would work with him and not have such a high dollar minium to run his lot of parts. Anyway Terry told me to give him a call middle of April and am hoping he gets good news that he can place an order. All I know is when he does get them in, I will be buying about 4 or 5 sets so I have some here for my other 1/16th scale kits...lol
