One of my customers, who has a seriously customized X1/9, decided he wanted to upgrade the brakes. He had read good things about the Vick's Prima brakes, so he ordered up a kit. He was told when he bought them that they would fit inside the wheels he had fitted to his car (at the time), a set of CD30s.
I installed them on one side first, and discovered the wheels did not clear. I had a set of phone dials, and that wheel did fit.
He decided to "take them off", so I did.
Earlier this year in preparation for taking the club tour to the Best of France and Italy show he decided that it was time to put them on his car. He had purchased a nice set of BWA wheels, and was told they would fit.
Of course they didn't. I had a set of Iron Cross wheels, so I fitted them and did some brake pad break in while waiting for him to bring a selection of wheels from his extensive collection that we could test.
He decided he loved the BWAs too much, so off the Prima brakes came. He told me to sell them at a fair price.
Today when I google them:
I see "today's" price is $550.00. He has obviously spent a lot more than that by the time you add in shipping and my labor time.
Are you willing to pay the $550.00 for a set of these brakes that have been installed and the bedding of the pads begun? Please realize that not "all" 13" factory wheels might clear...
No matter what is clamed.
They are nice brakes, and I hear they work well on classic Fiats. They are currently sitting in a box that I believe they came in.
Please note that any offers will need to be cleared with the owner. Shipping costs, if you don't come by to pick them up, is extra. If you want to pay me for them, that's fine. If you are in California I will need to charge tax, and since I am selling them as a favor, credit cards and pay pal please add 3.5%.
My customer is a great guy who always is there for club members when they need something he can help with. Are you the guy to help him out?
I want them off my workshop floor. They are in my way. If no one here wants them I will try some 124 guys.

So, once again I’m thrilled to introduce one of my creations for the Fiat 124… And it’s sure to bring the world of classic Fiats to a screeching halt, being modest! “What’s that?!” you say? That, my friend, would be a revolution for your car… Say hello to an affordable front brake kit...
