Old schooler knowledge needed on Dronnel M10s + BBK
Having searched for days I keep finding pics lost and info scarce on which BBKs fit under 19"x8.5 dronnel M10s. I have a set on my car and even the stock calipers with 3mm spacers needed some shaving. From the posts I read, "007" had the combo on his Imola Avant. He did say he "got them to work" They couldn't be spaced any farther because I am still rubbing rolled fenders. Any guidance? Ideas, thoughts?

no. Those are monoblock 4 piston. B-Type's 2 piece, and they are about as small as you can get...
...they have a flat face to help with inner rim spokes and all in all they are just small for a 4 piston. Here is a picture of the B-Type (for reference on how tight this caliper is, that is a 355mm rotor under a 17" volk wheel):

Yes, Ti = Titanium, and that was required as in aluminum like most hats, there wasn't enough material to be strong enough. These hats were ridiculously thin, more then 1/2 as then as the standard aluminum ones. and then the brackets were one-off to match up to how far in the rotors were pushed to gain wheel clearance. IN addition, there is a "nub" on teh bottom of the hub, we ground that down to flat.
No pics of 007's car handy. I know all this because I installed those brakes on his car and worked on the design (with others).

I don't think I have ever gotten such a good and fast response to a off the wall one in a million
question. Thank you Ryan. Where are you located anyways?
PK, No doubt I will be in to see you and your BfBK.

I don't think the BBK is worth the money it'll cost on teh M10's...
...i'm located in southern nevada, though at the time I was in NorCal. Maybe try contacting 0700 and see if he'll see you his setup, that would be the cheapest option.
