Brakes are an important and it appears contentious issue. The Gomog post covers some important areas s for consideration especially for new car owners, the post continues:-
In 2008, the Morgan Motor Company moved to new 4-pot brake calipers, also supplied by Caparo. In 2011 I decided to upgrade one of my Plus 8s (a 1990) from the earlier 2 pot calipers (1978-1993) to these 4 pot calipers. I leap-frogged the calipers used from 1993-2008. The new calipers will fit, with some fiddling and a small washer/spacer. They also use the same pads as the 1993-2008s. However, there is a watchpoint. Caparo said that they did not receive any feedback from the Morgan Motor Company and the pads sit proud of the rotor. Over time, a thin lip is formed, getting ever deeper with usage. This caused concern to the Caparo engineers. However, we checked with the Factory and they say they chamfer that edge at first service or the pads checked to see whether the issue has been addressed since 2011. This task should be added to first service on all new cars after 2008. Chamfering pads (and shoes) is not a rare task on any car with a savvy owner. It reduces the possibility of a piece of breaking materiel cracking off the sharp edge and causing mischief and noise. When I left Caparo, they hoped to receive instructions from Morgan to adjust the dimensions of the pads they provide and eliminate this problem but I have had no word since then.
Anyone know what is the current situation?
