pauln Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 I won't be happy until that shell is in your yard Glen. Did'nt get very far with the brakes. i did'nt have enough 19mm high tensile bolts and I was'nt happy with my brackets. Never mind the 260mm disc setup i have at the moment is working well and I have the parts list I need so I can get back on it as soon as i have them.

What do you think I am a machochist? I have been working in the 18" gap between the car and the garage wall (i can still move ......just). I had a quick measure to see if I could do a bias setup using the cortina pedals as well (not sure yet).
borneo Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 I just drove to Ipswich and picked up a genuine NOS RS X pack kit for £160! Well worth the three hour drive both ways! I think I might do another little dance!
