maranello rs7 brake help

[Ryan Leger]

Hey guys I have a maranello rs7 I'm running rotax its a 2007 chassis I belive what I want to do was put front brakes on it does anyone who exactly what parts I will need and what other kart parts will fit I heard parts from crg karts will fit but would like and experts help or someone who has done this before

Ryan,
Yes the Maranello brakes are the same as CRG. You will need a complete front brake set up including: master cylinder, calipers, rotors w/ carrier, front hubs. I would suggest matching your current version rear brake (ven99, ven04, ven05 etc). Depending on the version, some use the same spindle as the non-front brake version, some use different tapered spindle.

im running the ven05 i think on the rear it looks exactly the same as the ven05 on the crg so im guessing thats what it is , and what are you talking about with the spindles soryr still new to karting and learning

[Chris Rock]

The front brake disc hub on the ven05 KZ(shifter) brakes has two different size bearings because the stub axle on the spindles has a larger diameter on the inside then the outside. You might have to also change spindles if you convert via a KZ setup. I think CRG also makes a brake disc hub that has 25mm bearings on both ends but I'm not positive on that.

[Ryan Leger]

Well right now I have 25mm maranello spindles on it is there anything I can do to make those spindle work and suggestions
