Titanium Brake Caliper Studs - who wants some?

Inspired by the manifold studs thread http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=110603&sid=cf194aee4c03c8d15d1db3440395825b I've been in touch with Matt (Poppopbangbang) and he's going to manufacture some titanium brake caliper studs for me - he's suggested that I put a post up to see if anyone else would also like some.

My car is a 997.1 GT3 (PCCB) and the calipers are attached to the aluminium wheel uprights with Allen head bolts, using studs (as on the cup cars) does away with the single use stretch bolts that Porsche advise should be replaced each time the caliper is removed and also takes away the risk of stripping out the thread in the aluminium upright.

Matt's solution is a high quality Ti stud with a compact aero K-Nut to clear the limited diameter of the bore recess on the caliper.

For 997 GT3 & Turbo - from what I've researched the bolting dimensions for the rears are the same for both steel and PCCB 997.1 & 997.2. The fronts are common for 997.1 PCCB & 997.2 PCCB & steel only (997.1 steel are longer +15mm).

Please add your name to the thread if you're interested in a set.
 
I'd be interested in some standard 996 type ones if they can be made?

Dunno if this makes too many varieties.

I never like taking the OE bolts out!
 
I would be interested in a set for the Cayman (Gen. 1).

EDIT - I have PCCB's
 
Me too please
 
Me please... 996 turbo
