Default st170 discs and 2wd cosworth calipers, need help

hi, i have mk4 turbo cab that i have some 2wd calipers for, was gonna just use 280mm cosworth discs, but been given 300mm st170 discs free, will these squeeze on with the caliper in the original holes, without having to make a bracket or would i have to make a make one up? many thanks

saw the spacer brackets needed for this conversion on ebay a while back, were about 30quid ish. no link tho sorry, so time to get looking

failing that, i remember reading on the zoo motorsport site that brom can make up adaptor brackets to fit any calipers to any car with any disc, so, give them a call n see what can be sorted custom fabrication wise

Go for 4wd calipers and the 2wd cossie discs, popular conversion and works the tits! Fit straight on with no mods!
