Nice work - good to know you have parallel spot-on.

Interesting way you did them.
I would've split the calipers and used the matting face as datum.

I already had the time-serts installed. Then I noticed the surfaces were not parallel.
This way I could solidly bolt to the factory mounting surfaces. I drilled holes in the bolts so I could plunge the end mill straight down. Thought the end mill might catch the time-sert coming in from the side. The fixture was indicated to within .001" X & Y.

Nearly 20 years ago, I switched out the Brembo 08s for 40mm-spaced 4 POT Brembos on my Jota. It was an extremely easy conversion thanks to the availability of GuzziTech caliper adapter brackets, which worked perfectly; they are no longer available, but they do come up occasionally on eBay. My old Master cylinder was not suitable for the 4 pots, so I bought a new M/C from Steve at Bevel Heaven, the same shop I obtained the GuzziTech adapters. A fantastic setup; love them. I have a pair for my 1200; just got to stop being a slacker and fit them. A bit more work because the Jota had Marzo forks, and the 1200 has the good forks, Cherries.

Change the discs to 300mm and get Steph to machine 2 sets now that he has it all dimensioned.

Thanks guys,
So far I’ve installed an upgraded Brembo m/c from Bevel Heaven, put 2 direct lines to each caliper and EBC thinner organic pads to fit the thicker Malcolm Cox rotors, and the braking has improved. I’m looking into if 4 pot Brembos from an Aprilia will fit, and yes, larger rotors would also help. A friend has a CNC machine to make mounts if needed.

4-spots will definitely require an adapter. Unless you get hold of the BMW Brembos mentioned on here several times.
