Where to get rear brake parts?

[Dan Dillinger]

Looking to get new brake shoes, wheel cylinders and drums for my FB RX7!

Does anyone know where I could get them new?

Can any sort of rear disc conversion be done using fc parts as I\'ve got a spare full set of rear brakes buddy also put a pic on fb so I can see Japan exhaust

I\'ve used http://www.brakeparts.co.uk/ in the past with good results.

Another if your really struggling is //www.rockauto.com

Or Just ask Clive (mazda rotary parts) he can source alot of the FB stuff !

i did a FC front and rear conversion on mine with parts from Re-Speed

I\'ve just completely overhauled my rear brake set up. New discs, pads, and re-manufactured calipers.

All parts sourced from Rockauto and used BiggRed to re-man the calipers.

Well pleased and a big difference in stopping power....

Just sent the rears off to biggred, they were in pretty poor condition and it failed the old MOT.

Anyone know how much effort the brakes should be putting in on the test or what the ideal brake balance should be?

Random question,

Mazda cannot find the brake caliper to diff bolts, they are m10x20. I assume they are high grade 10.9 bolts but can\'t find them anywhere!

What are people using?

Ebay is a good source for bolts, although go for the 12.9 if really unsure.

got some 12.9\'s off ebay

zinc coat as opposed to plated as 12.9 plated bolts can suffer from embrittlement in the plating process

Good news
