Default brake caliper adaptor brackets

are the brackets to fit s2 calipers with 2wd cossie discs to a series 1 the same as the ones to fit 2wd 4 pot calipers and 2wd cossie discs?

if not how much are they and where from?

To fit 2wd callipers to your series 1 you will need to get your front hubs machined back and are a bugger to fit .It's easier to fit 4wd cosworth one as all you need is 2 ..1mm spacers.
