I am almost feeling guilty about bringing this up, as they are Italian.

But I am looking for a not so common Brembo caliper for a pre-89 project.

I know I can buy a new repo or get one close enough like a ktm60/65, but as I am in pretty deep now and a bit of an anorak.

On a few bikes of the late 80s and early nineties there were Brembo calipers as used on the TY250, Aprilia Climber, Montesa Cota, and I think a few others, like I think Gas Gas and Fantic.

Grimeca and AJP later made a similar one using a lot of debris, like the Senda and the early ubiquitous early 98 to 01 KTM 60/65. Which if i can't find a cheap one ,is what i will have to use.

Anyone have a lead on one or know other bikes that have them? i found a few but Shipping on eBay from the EU or US is almost criminal or the sellers dont want to?
I tried the usual cross matching through pads etc but they used similar pads on other Brembo and Grimecas?

They look very similar to a Yamaha RD350 caliper only smaller and not cast iron the Yamaha ones which i always thought was a licensed Lockheed Copy?
The Brembo also have square pads.

pic to be attached if KB lets me.

Having not had any response from my many attempts to contact Franco , and receiving no feedback from the Flenghi brothers Filippo /Thomas I contacted a friend
Marc Marcelet.

He is also a very good friend of Roland and he has asked him to contact Filippo in person ( in Italian as he speaks little English ).
They have agreed to fulfil my normal " contract " for the R3 development work, but I fear I have been " tarred with the same brush as Franco " and am now PNG.

Really pisses me off, having started working with Claudio well over a decade ago and I have turned down work from others feeling loyalty to TM with such a long association.
We shall see what Roland can find out - I know he worked at TM, but Franco never had a kind word to say - nothing unusual about that though.

The latest info is that Franco was fired as he was spending all his time trying to get his own KZ engine homologated, ran out of time, and the Lenzo thing is just a stop gap.

did you know that TM was sold to a fund, the same one that owns the OTK group (tonykart/vortex) & vegatyres?
