"where can I find this information?" You can calculate it yourself, too. Brake Handbook, by Fred Puhn, published by HPBooks, copywrite 1985. If you got through algebra you can do the math no problem. Yes, you will have to measure your car and components of it. Fun.;) | ||

Arnaldo, There is a great deal of technical information. I need to ask the question as to why you want it? Sorry if that seems rude, but Brembo is by nature very protective of its hard earned knowledge. I also need to know so I can send you information that would be pertinent to your needs as opposed to an overwhelming mass of data. Are you interested in some data because you are potentially interested in purchasing an upgrade, or do you have another technical reason that I can tailor to? I would probably send any data by email, so give me an idea of what you would like to see and an email and I'll see what I can do. | ||

James, I received the Boxer fax, thank you very much. In reviewing it I can see that the Boxer and Testarossa use completely different castings for the suspension and upright hardware. This is a shame. At present we do not have enough demand to design the kits, and the Boxer customer does not want to pay for a one off. So perhaps sometime later we can do a Boxer system. Thanks for all of your help James. I will be leaving soon for the weekend. Have a great Thanksgiving. I will talk more with you soon. Eric | ||

Eric - your fax did not pick up the second group last evening. I thought my fax would retry. It is on its way. Sorry for the delay. If these are not of sufficient resolution, let me know and I can scan and e-mail. Better yet, it appears that you are in the 714 area - we could meet at a Kinkos. Jim S. | ||

Hi James, Thank you for the information. I recieved 5 drawings for the Testarossa, and 5 pages of assembly part numbers. I have not recieved anything for the Boxer. I need to compare the equipment somehow, do you have the same service manual information for the Boxer? The drawings would be invaluable. part numbers would be great, but I do not want to push my luck. let me know if you have the Boxer info. Thanks again. Eric | ||

Eric - I faxed the documents to you. Please let me know if they were received with sufficient resolution. I can scan them and deliver via e-mail if necessary. In addition, I provided the part numbers pages for the TR, but not for the BBi. Let me know if you need them. Not a problem if you do. Jim S. | ||

Hello James, If you could fax both the Boxer and Testarossa drawings to me it would be a great help. You can fax it to me if that is convienent for you, at 714-641-5827. Let me know if there is another way that is more convienent for you. Thank you again very much. let me know if there is anything I can do for you in return. Eric | ||

Eric - I can scan or fax the parts page to you. Do you need the TR or the Boxer, or both? Jim S. | ||

Hello James, I am investigating the components that directly affect the brake system mounting: The upright and or steering knuckle, and hub, which in this case includes the entire center lock flange, drive pin and threaded shaft assembly. Thanks again, Your help would be invaluable. Arnaldo; Yes of course the specs are available including the difference between the brake systems and so forth. The performance data is also available. Understand that we measure performance in terms of system efficiency (and therefore ability) and heat index (heat absorbtion and rejection). The standard magazine 60-0 times and so forth are far more of a tire test. I am including a picture of the mounted kit on a TR.  | ||

I have an 83' BBi and an '86 TR with center bolt. I will check the parts book. What specifically are you looking at? Jim S. | ||

I think Henry on this board has both a bb and a TR so he might be able to help | ||

Eric, on a perhaps slightly different matter (I apologize for the detour). Does Brembo have performance figures and/or comparison information between the Testarossa stock brake system and the upgrades that it offers? Thanks. | ||

Hello, I have a question that is taking some time to get an answer from Italy for me. I am curious to know if the 512BB uprights and hub assemblies are the carried over as the same for the early, center lock TR's. I have some inquiries about applying the kit we make for the early TR's to the BB. All of the braking equipment for the BB and the early TR was made by ATE, so we have no records for the assemblies. Ferrari SpA and NA are slow to deliver drawings or information about past models, as well as being very guarded about the subjects. Thanks for the help Eric Dahl, Brembo NA engineering |
