Brake disc help on caprin sruts

[seaneylad]

 

Diameter is 252/253mm... Which is the sticking point. Can't find any?

Been told they could m3 discs machined down etc

Completely lost at the moment haha

 

Capri discs are 245mm?

 

I'm running princess caliper's not with the big spacer kit just the washer spacer kit

 

Any advice or help anyone?

 

Thanks

Rally design used to do a disc specially for the Princess caliper conversion, you'll need to space the calipers out to use it though. Otherwise a standard 2.8i capri disc will do it (but will still need the caliper spacing)

Currently got it spaced using the washer spacer kit

 

Not the propa spacer kit you see online. Don't think there would be space its tight as it is

 

Would I be best with the Capri ones then not the ones from rally design ?

I'm not sure what you mean by the washer spacer kit, are you talking about the washers that go between the caliper and the leg? That's not the same spacer. The spacer I'm talking about goes between the two halves of the caliper to make them wide enough for vented discs. If you're already using vented discs then you probably already have spaced calipers

 

This is the spacer kit that goes between the two caliper halves

And this is the 257mm Rally Design disc, but you do also need the spacer kit between the two caliper halves to use them (if you're not already using vented discs)

Thanks for the time and reply with links, appreciate the help

 

Here are mine on the car for a while back haven't taken a closer look

Can you tell these have the spacer kit on?

Yes they do, look between the two caliper halves and you can see an insert piece. If you follow an imginary line straight down from the bottom inside edge of the disc, that's your caliper spacer.

 

The RD discs are 257mm and should be fine between those

Ah cool .. Thanks for the info

Got all the bits to get the calipers rebuilt so I'll get the discs and all good to go then.

 

Abother question answered on OSF maybe one day I'll be able to help someone haha instead of asking all the questions
