Hello all, I've been browsing for an hour to see if my problem has been answered already but I can't find a definitive answer. I have Lotus rims and 2.8 Capri vented discs but I'm having trouble finding the correct Wilwood calipers to fit. Here is the message I was going to post:
Car: Ford Anglia 105e
Struts: Mark 2 Cortina (Milton conversion)
Discs: Capri 2.8 vented
Wheels: 5.5J Lotus Rims
The problem started when I went to fit the Wilwood M16 Midilite calipers I'd been sold by Rally Design. I was told that these were the ones I needed. Problem is the Lotus rims won't fit. Not even close. Not even with smaller spacer washers.
I gave Rally Design a ring and they said that it's probably the smaller Superlite calipers that I need after all. I tried them quickly tonight but they don't seem to sit in the correct position around the disc. Admittedly, I haven't had long tonight to play around and investigate it but they don't seem right.
Is there anyone out there who has the same Mark 2 Cortina strut, Capri 2.8 vented disc and Lotus rim set up as me? It's not an unusual combination and there must be plenty of people out there in the same boat as me. There must be a set of new calipers out there that will fit. I'd rather not have to go down the route of finding a s/h set of Princess calipers and having them refurbished, if I can just buy new off the shelf...
Any help most appreciated.
Syd
