Josh Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I ordered a couple Wilwood Powerlite Callipers, some grooved and vented red dot discs and some wilwood fast road pads from burtonpower, ask them before I buy "will these all go together sweet" there answer, "yes". Sure enough I get them and the callipers are for a standard non-vented discs. Fucked me right off, so anyway I emailed him like 8 times now wtf I asked you if they fit and you said they would etc and if they can get spacer kits for them....with no replys whatsoever. So what I want to know is, does anyone know where I might be able to get a spacer kit for these callipers so they will fit over the discs?! Maybe someone else has had them or soemthing I dunno, any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkcortina Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 what is the thickness of the discs? also what part number did you order? 120-8729-M16? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 I think Les Hunter in Christchurch deals with Wilwood. If I was you I would put a stop on payment with the credit card company claiming you haven't received everything you paid for (assume you used credit card). Its one of the fastest ways to get their attention, really they haven't delivered what you paid for.Callum Yea payment came out rather swiftly though so to late for that if thats what you mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that was the part number I ordered as of advice from Barry from burtonpower. well that part number is correct for a vented disc 20.1-21.8mm They may have sent the wrong part. I would ask them what the width of the caliper should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkcortina Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 just measured my superlites and the gap between the pistons is 75mm. so if it is less than that they must of sent you the wrong ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Revhead Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 yeah give them a call. then at least you can honestly say youv tried everything before stopping the payment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Emailling Burtons is a waste of time. I stopped trying about three years ago. You need to phone them - trouble is you need to say sober until 10pm one night.......... and even then don't expect a good result. They aren't very helpful.

Gaz Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 But in all cerial etc. Record the phone convo you have with them. (you might need to tell them your going to record it) Ive been burnt from Burtons before. Ive used them three times and the two last times they fucked shit up big time.. not to mention they are as expensive as kidneys on the blackmarket.
