Don't think so B. They probably use approved rotors and calipers off the self with a brake cable all approved by the auto industry to meet certain standards required by law and a few stamped metal pieces meeting to a certain standard.
Then have testing done and approved by government test standards, before being sold. So there is some R&D in the price and liability insurance on the product, which adds to the cost

Hmmm possibly, I'm happy to stick to the drum brake on my disco anyway………

Don't really need a hand brake for the most part when you have parking gear at any rate

From their site, just had a look

"All our products are considered non standard fitments and are therefore supplied, fitted and used entirely at the vehicle owner/driver's responsibility."


So I presume they take no responsibility for the items, they offer a 12 month warranty on the workmanship but thats as much as I can see. The liability insurance would be just for them if someone decided to sue

I can see Ive started a bit of healthy debate here and thats good. From my point of view I dont have the ability to make something like this and like all of us being busy I want something easy to apply and convenient to carry. the best anti theft measures are no good if you dont bother to deploy them. as for what profit the guy makes I dont really care good luck to him. If i think its worth it Ill buy it, if I dont then I wont, thats business. Like all measures its just a matter of buying time or causing noise, nothings impregnable and Id hope Id get there if they take one blade or four, or discs or whatever. Anyway it would appear no one has one lying around anyway!! Just thought Id ask!

These look good

disk transmission brakes have been around a very long time usually on construction plant, telehandler forklifts, dumpers etc. Lambretta's have a front braske disk with a mechanism that is startlingly similar to the Xbrake. but according to X-Eng, their design is unique and original?????
