Default Jan 24 2007: Jordan F1 wheel and brake disk

I got some race worn F1 parts from the 1996 Jordan F1 car today.

the car: http://www.gaffersports.com/motorspo...autos/2512.php

Right wheel:
I have what seems to be the right rear wheel. I believe it is forged magnesium made by O.Z racing.


It is very light - weighs about 9 lb


I think I am going to use the wheel as the base of a glass coffee table

Carbon brake disk
Jordan had Brembo calipers and SEP carbon disks/pads. I got one disk brake. It weighs about 1.5 lb

Cool! Did you find these in a junkyard or what?

What are you going to do with the brake disc?

The brake disk is going to be mounted on the wall.

Awesome F1 wheel

A friend of mine has a old Racing BBS wheel from a Porsche back in the 80's and uses it as a base for a glass table. I always wanted to do something like that.
