Default ST170 Brake Conversion......

I don't really know anything about this conversion, but it seems quite nice.

What is it like?

What does it cost?

Does anyone supply a kit?

Does it fit behind 15" RST Wheels?

Ta.

I had it on mine and it's a hell of alot better than the cossie conversion.

Get a set of ST170 brakes from a scrappy and all you need to do is drill out your hubs to take the larger bolts the ST uses. You will need some spacers on the bolts. They are only 12mm if I recall correctly. I don't think they will fit under 15's though.

One kit (all round) on ebay at the moment.

Mid Ł500's I think it was

Caliper is similar to the Focus C Max - but that uses the 300mm 5 stud disc under 16" rims
