Cortina mk1 vented discs

[Andrade]

Dad is trying to fit capri vented discs to his cortina using type9 calipers with spacers.

 

his standard setup are type 9 calipers with solid discs, and they fit fine. Yesterday he tried on the vented discs, and when we came to bolt up the calipers they are hitting the hub. any ideas what the problem is?

i'm using spacered m16 calipers on vented capri discs when i first bolted them up the back of the caliper hit the hub/disc i just used a 2mm washer to space the caliper in wards a little (early mk2 cortina hubs)

has he used capri hubs?

 

No he is still using the cortina hubs. are the bearings from the capri identical to the one of the cortina hub?

thing is I have placed the caliper inwards as possible without it being bolted on, and it still won't go under the hub..

 

I'll try to get some pictures up because we've set up a standard strut and one with vented discs so we can understand better whats going on rather than having to crawl under the car.
