I can get them for 300PLN for 6 sets. That is about £9.50 per set. Shipping about a fiver a set to the UK then however much postage is here.

Under £20 a set. I am waiting for the guys bank account to pay for them.

My UK based disc brake project has moved on a tad as I finalised my design & took it to a laser cutting firm today , could possibly have plates available next week subject to testing out a sample. I do not want to undermine Dajwid as under £20 seems pretty good to me if the plates are OK & of a reasonable design, would be nice to see one though. I will start a new thread about my design & availability.  [-/

 :) How are you guys getting on with your supply of adaptor plates ? My prototypes & the first production run , 12 sets in all , have all been sold . Slightly unexpected as I did a deal with a classic & kit car brake specialist who wants to put together full kits to add to his catalogue, quite flattered really , :oops:
I am going to order a few more sets as I do not even have my own set & now the hard work is done , the design & the expensive bit , having the design translated into the computer program for the laser cutting I am told that repeat orders are quite easy as long as I go for a minimum order quantity. I have taken some pictures of the plates & also the plates that Mick bought & took to Billing, they are bolted onto a nice set of factory recon stub axles I happened to have </
As I am rubbish at posting pics I will not try but if anybody wants to see how they look just PM me your e-mail address. I have enjoyed the challenge & getting a result so the next one is to sort out the most user / wallet friendly solution for the 12" wheel rim users. I have a cunning plan which I explained to Mick when he visited Castle Bonkers on his way to Billing. I know that he will not give anything away as he knows I have  pictures of him in a compromising position & without a wooley hat on  </1 </4
