Wonder where they're manufactured, i saw the words 'our workshop' or something like that. Unless he bought a billion of them from China or something, as Flymo said, isn't this a simple fix? Ruining your reputation on both sides of the pond for a couple of mm? Bugger me.

what workshop?

What Blair likes to do is purchase products from other people who figure out how to make it work ( fitting, getting numbers, REAL thinking ). Then he makes copies of them and says they are his own product.

Anything that is a "SVRP" product, really isn't. It's a copy.
Look at everything else he sells, it's a product from someone else.

if he had done that then he would have had the option of having them replaced.

i would like to see this person actually make good on his mistakes and admit to them and offer a replacement item or refund. i think he is a committed person with a lot of drive to actually get off his **** and do something in the first place. for this i would like to see him do well. but judging by his slap dash attitude to customer relations i can see him going down the pan which in my view would be a shame.

But, the important part of this discussion is the suitability and fitment of these brackets.

All the hard work has been done in designing and manufacturing them, to do this with incorrect dimensions seems totally illogical to me. I don't think that Blair would intentionally ship out brackets that he knew were wrong..........Blair, the stage is yours. Your audience awaits.


Hi, I just saw your post, Thank you. To have some suggest that all these parts are blatantly bad is not accurate. The sad part is that the tone and attitude of the thread for some time has not been conducive to easy open communication.

I am aware of this issue, and we are working on it. At $55 a caliper set you can be sure that our resources are not being expended for the purpose of providing parts that are not correct.

Actual customers are being contacted and worked with individually to correct any issues.

Actual purchasers, you are being individually requested to Email me at b.layton@svracingparts.com and I will give you a quick reply to discuss with you what we are doing to correct any issues, and get you looked after.

You can all be sure that I look after my customers, and will be providing them with the correct fixes and solutions to all issues.

We know where the issues stem from, they will be eliminated in the next batch we will be machining.

It has been rough but we have learned certain things about the brackets we did not realize previously, that will benefit all of us looking to do the upgrade on our brakes,

I will re-post regarding the Brake Caliper Adapter Brackets availability as soon as the fixes are in place,

Enjoy the ride, and best regards,
Blair

Locked! I think this has gone far enough now. For those of you that have bought the SVRP adapter and aren't happy with them then please contact Blair directly at b.layton@svracingparts.com and for those of you that haven't purchased them I suggest you get off the bandwagon.

Blair if you want this reopened then drop me a pm.

Thanks DD

Right, after speaking with the other mods I have re-opened the thread.
The only posts I want now are from people who have actually bought the SVRP adapter plates and are NOT happy with them so that list of names can be passed onto Blair for him to rectify in which way he sees appropriate.
Any posts from people that have not bought the adapters or "I was going to buy them but not now" will be deleted
