Default 300mm rear brake conversion on the saph done ;)

well chuffed today,i did a 300mm rear brake conversion on the saph and i must say works a treat,realy good
i used
new cossy 4x4 rear calipers 200 quid
st170 front discs (skimmed to 22mm) 46 quid
stright brakets from hispec 70 quid
and 14mm spacers to go on the brakets

well chuffed awsome brakes

so a cheap 300mm setup if i didnt get the new calipers but i needed them anyway as the ones i had were knackerd

I hope you took pics of all the parts so people can see, otherwise you will have to take it all apart again lol

Sounds a good cheap conversion

I'm sure matt baxter off here mentioned that he'd used st170 fronts on the rear of his but didn't say anything about skimming them to 22mm i take it the disk wont fit in the 4x4 caliper un skimmed?

Good work, I take it you have some massive front brakes or some decent bias valve to stop you spinning?
