Wilwood PS1 Calipers

[jonny8]

Does anybody have CAD drawings for Wilwood PS1 calipers?

We want to locate them within a 10inch wheel, but obviously do not want to purchase them until we know they are suitable.

just go to wilwood.com and look up the product, they usually have dimensioned drawings...

I beleive we have a model in I-deas.. I might be able to so an IGES export or something.

[Homemade WRX]

I'm in the same boat...I would also need the drawings...
Ben, could you email them to drummerboy1784@cox.net?
thanks, Micah

The drawing on that link should be good enough. I would suggest using that to make your own part. I just finished doing it in SolidWorks and it only took me an hour. I pretty much learned how to use SW in the process too. Two birds with one stone.

would anyone using these like to give a review?

a comparison to billet dynalight singles would be great....

We are using the bilet dynalight single (fixed) for the front and PS-1's for the rear whith both front and rear having the same effective braking diamter... so the difference in piston area between the two accounts for the bias ratio jsut nicely.

On recieving the the BDs and PS-1s we were quit supprised at how small the PS-1s are (which is kinda cool)... but they don't look anywhere near as good as the BDs since the PS-1's are cast.

I have modelled the PS-1 caliper and pads.. but how the fek do u attach stuff on this? anyone?

[Frank]

thx for the feadback

upload the file to your ftp server space..

and leave a hyperlink here that points to the file

If you don't find anywhere to host the file, I can put it on my webspace. My email is monQy_at_mail_dot_utexas_dot_edu.

Does anyone have an estimate for the friction coefficient of the PS-1 pads? Or if they are compatible with stainless rotors? Wilwood's site doesn't seem to have any technical info.

Hi B,

we were planning to run the ps1 calipers this year but due to time issues never actually did, due to the fact that it would be a week before we would get them and have them modeled (paper work is slow at our uni) but if you have a cad model that would help us out a lot for next year. if you could email (or upload to a server) me one that would be great.

email m.mcinnes@student.qut.edu.au

cheers

[B]

anybody who wants the PS-1 caliper email me at bmw976@hotmail.com and i will email it 2 u.


On another note... we are trying to machine polymatrix B compound pads to suit the PS-1 so that our front and rear pads will have the same temperature response but are having alot of trouble machining them... they require 2 new tool tips for each pad! Has anyone done this before? we need some solutions as it is costing us time and money!

[Pavan Dendi]

Laser cutting or water jetting maybe? Those would probably work for the profile. Depending on how much you wanted to take off the thickness, a surface grinder might work.

I have hosted Brett's PS-1 model on my webspace. I don't know our university's bandwidth limit so these will stay up for a couple weeks or whenever the school starts bitching.

hey i'm having trouble opening thoes files what should i use. i have inventor pro, and autocad 2005

[B]

they are solidworks part files... u need solidworks 2004 or newer to open them.

Hi,
Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead but i was wondering if i could get a solidworks copy of the Wilwood PS-1 calipers.
The link further up no longer works.

Thanks

[R. Alexander]

We found the PS1s to be very un-stiff.

The files are on 3D content central (http://www.3dcontentcentral.com)

They stop our car just fine.

Thanks.
I dont suppose anyone has any feedback on AP Racing calipers?
I'm thinking of using the CP7003 on the rear. Again does anybody have a CAD model?

Thanks guys
