Billet Caliper???
« on: December 19, 2010, 11:05:11 pm »
I am getting ready to order a new brake caliper. I currently have the std MCP caliper.  I am wanting the nice billet, black caliper though.  I was wondering if the mini lite caliper would have the same stopping power as the STD caliper? I am also going to be running a 10'' X3/16 rotor. I am wanting to stay with MCP brand.

From what I've heard the mini lites are for lighter karts. I bet you will be better off with the std size.

That is what i was thinking. I cant seem to find a dual line caliper that is black and billet. Does anyone know if a single line can be converted to a dual line?

you could just tee out of the master clyinder into a single line for the caliper, but dont think i would use a mini-light, pretty sure mcp offers a standard caliper in billet!
check out mcp# 1375p187 fits 3/16'' rotor!

The BTS caliper is WAY better than the MCP standard. I'm sure the billet MCP is the same. One with floating pads would be the best. I know a guy who is trying a caliper off a polaris ATV that is floating. Will wait and see.

Personally I run a 2 piston wilwood cast caliper of a snowmobile. You won't stray me from it!!! It is single line, but works awesome!!! I also run a 10 inch rotor. If ya look on ebay, the wilwoods can often be picked up for around 25 bucks in used condition. Well worth it.

Mini lites are not as strong as the standard MCP calipers.

You want a single line if possible, don't let that scare you off, you'll have more brake pressure going to the caliper.

I have had good luck with MCP in the past and would like to stay with them. Im building a new mower and want the fancier parts on it.
  Ok, so the way i understand this is that... I want a single line billet master cylinder, going to a single line billet caliper?   caliper #MCP1375SEB  on aps karting and master cylinder #MCP3750B
I also Have E.C. front brakes. I would like to run the same style master cylinder for them to. Would a single line work good for the front brakes?   Thanks for the help.

check out mcp# 1375p187 fits 3/16'' rotor!

That looks like what i was wanting but they only come in red. I want black lol.

A single line can be split up to the front brakes no problem.

while you guy's dont think the mini lite will do good. I know they will work fine. i run one on my mower and it will lock up the tires at any time just like the std size one will.

Tyler,
Check these guys out.  They have billet stuff and it looks to be cheaper than APS.  I have bought a lot from these guys, they are out of Ohio and they have fast shipping, usually get it in 2-3 days to Louisville
