Good info but I'd be a little better pleased if the writer ( Lorne Goldman from the attribution( was a little bit more accurate himself in what he says. He comments:
"
WATCHPOINT: For some time, one of the UK forums, TalkMorgan, has erroneously reported that the current Morgan brake supplier is a division of Brembo called AP Racing Ltd of Coventry. This is not correct. And though AP RACING LTD is a fine company by all accounts, they have never supplied Morgan. They asked us to place this advisory in hope of ending the confusion that has resulted and stopping the technical inquiries they have received. They asked us to point out that if calipers have AP RACING in large letters on them, they are made by AP Racing. If they have CAPARO written on them, they are made by Caparo. Brakes are the most important safety items on any vehicle. Be absolutely sure of the quality of your information source in this area. "
I don't know if we have other replies on TM about this, but in my own earlier post what I said was:
"The situation used to be that everything was under the AP banner ( in fact, originally it was AP Lockheed) They were based in Coventry.
The AP company was split up, and a separate high performance road car and racing division was created, called "AP Racing Limited". The AP Racing company was sold to Brembo, and in their (Brembo) published corporate structure, AP Racing Ltd are a 100% owned subsidiary of Brembo.
The lesser mortals of the former AP company were, I think, sold to the Rover Group, ( the story goes that this was to enable the continued supply for black cabs, and Range Rovers!) After a few more twists and turns, this is what ended up as Caparo AP
Mr Goldman, is either wilfully mis- stating what I said or perhaps needs to check his facts.
Put simply, the author of the GoMog piece is insinuating that TMers did not know the true picture when in fact accurate information had been available on TM at least six months before he claimed to the contrary. he also seems to be suggesting that "They" ( is he referring to Caparo, AP Racing or MMC?) had asked for this advisory to be placed because there had been a constant stream of enquries from misinformed TMers whose incorrct information had to be corrected by the company in question. In fact, my information had not been gained by enquries to Caparo, AP Racing or MMC
The true position as seen from the facts of the posts is this.
My post was dated June 2011 whereas Goldman's GoMog piece was 'updated July 2012' so for over a year previous to his post, the accurate facts had been availbale on TM for anyone who wished to read it
The information in the post did not come from Caparo or MMC but from one of the best racing brake engineers in the UK,The only point I rasied - and it was with Caparo, was what if any advantage I mightr gain by repalcing my exisiting brakes with the Caparo Billet models
Could I respectfully suggest therefore that the GoMog piece is a tad ingenuous to say the least It is certainly discourteous and makes out that posts on TM cannot be relied upon when it comes to technical information. I resent that
Sorry to be nitpicking here but as a lawyer I need to get my facts correct at all times. As a member of the same profession, I would expect that Lorne Goldman does no less
