Default cosworth brakes

Got some 2wd cosworth discs to go onto my series 2 but i'm still gonna use rs turbo calipers. I have all the brac kets for the conversion ... spacers etc. Just wondering if anybody has a diagram on how to put the brackets on?????

good mate, glad your happy

erm, the brackets etc were simple enough, it was just a case of trial and error for spacing them correctly, i ended up getting new bolts for mine
as the ones supplied were not long enough, spent abou 3 hours messing with them.
