right then peeps

what brackets do you need to fit 4 pot 2wd cossie front callipers to a series 1

or im i better putting series 2 callipers on

thanks in advance

 

2wd calipers won't fit, need to use 4wd with 2wd discs.

 

thanks Stu

what brackets do you need aswell mate

 

They bolt straight on mate, no messing about and no brackets needed. The discs are FT (fuckin tight) as far as fit goes, some have 2mm taken off the edge but I never bothered.

 

cheers Stuart

and get your S1 pics up in the pics and video sect

 

no sweat

4 pots will fit
i bought mine already on the hub but im sure its just bigger bolts holding them on,i have alloy bells aswell

check my resto in the restorations and rebuilds

 

Yeah but Andy's running standard rims etc..........and there ain't no way 4pots fit behind those

 

im sure they fit with a spacer
what size wheels do cossies come with?

 

2wd 4pots do not fit behind the standard wheels.

They need 4mm machining off the mating face of the caliper and the hubs need drilling to 14mm (don't quote me on that)...

I did the 2wd caliper conversion on my s1... i found out that you have to bin the standard wheels the hard way

But... once on and working, boy do they stop IMO the most cost effective way of making a rst stop... if you don't mind loosing the standard wheels. Been in an rst with 4wd calipers and IMO theres no comparison

 

i wa just gunna ask this!!!
ive got some 4 pots but i dont wanna lose the standard rims!!!
back to the drawing board

 

Firstly 4 pots will fit on, secondly they will fit behind standard rims but you need some fairly big ass spacers so for standard rims its not really a good idea.

To fit 4 pots, you have to skim 3-4mm off the caliper face, and tap the hub with M12 threads, and get some cutoms pipes

A bit like this:

 

Because it makes the wheels stick out and foul the arches
