I presume you need them for rear disc conversion?

oddkidd creations come with countersunk bolts so no grinding boltheads away to clear the hub

no its the front brakes. Cant find anything on eBay. The guy who was fitting them for me said there to big to just fit straight on. He said i need an adaptor plate like what you need when you fit the mondeo discs on.

You don't need them for the front if you fit 4x4 calipers/2wd discs. A washer is all that's required to space the caliper out slightly.

on the front common conversion is cossie 4x4 calipers and 2wd discs, mine just needed a bit of filing to the caliper carriers, some people use a washer to space the disc centrally (mine didn't need this)

As you were told by the guy who sold em to you, 4x1mm penny washers is all that's required to space the disc out. Worked perfect on mine.
