At this stage my budget doesnt stretch to aftermarket calipers so I was wondering which are the best standard calipers PBR, Girlock aluminium or cast iron? Or is there no difference in performance. |

It's a BIT cheeky to say that, Jason. You're a qualified machinist with access to all the good machinery so you made LOTS of the conversion bits yourself. :-)

HX cast iron Gilrock calipers would be my favourite
Biggest pad
Failing that PBR cast iron
The alloy ones flex so I prefer the cast ones
