BenT and others....

I am in the last throws of installing 312mm brakes on my camper. It is a combo of Audi 5000S/200 and Audi TT parts. Needless to say 16" wheels are a must with this setup. I am also thinking that it is now time to upgrade the master cylinder so that I can apply the pressure necessary to really use these brakes.

Hopefully the new Overland kit will use parts available in North America so that one doesn't have to go back to a very specialized dealer to get replacement parts.

Well, this was ordered for me in error. I'm looking at it and for the life of me, it looks like the SA big brakes but then, I can't be sure. The only SA brakes I have are installed in my van.

Has anyone else heard of these? Any Overland dealers listening? My dealer tells me it is bigger than the SA Big Brakes. He's not sure either. I thought I'd ask you guys before asking someone at Overland.

I am considering selling this package if anyone is interested. Comes with 2 new rotors, 2 new calipers, set of pads, some pad retainer springs, and pair of hoses. It's set up for a Syncro. 2WD install will require the SA hubs.
