Evening all. I have spent a couple of quid on these mk3 jobbies and I am now looking for these spacers I keep reading about.
What am I actually spacing?
Where are they available?
I have some sheet metal so if not available does anyone know for sure the mm I need so I can make them?

Thank you

Terry

 

You want a 12mm spacer between the caliper and hub mate, will also need to drill the holes in the hub to 12mm to accept the bigger m12 mondeo bolt.
You can get the kit on e bay cheap.

 

12mm?! Karaoke man I thought it was about 4mm.

eBay it is then

 

Any chance if you do find the kit could you put a link up as I'm trying to do the same conversion cheers pal

 

I've got a set at home

 

Luke you talking spacers? If so let me know how much or where you got them please.

Terry

 

theres a guy on ebay who sells spacers for brembos.i emailed him and he has his engineer make me up said spacers.tbh I had 12mm ones made but carriers still touched the disc so put a 1mm washer in and was spaced perfect.

Thank you mr jub. Now all I need are the discs. St170 jobbies?


Also what about the hoses, can I use my originals?

 

yeah st170 discs.i got mtech ones on my orion and they are great.some like them some hate them.
hose wise I got a set of braided from matt lewis and believe ive got adaptors as original pipes have a female connection on them and so do the braided ones

 

Cool mate. I'll get the spacers bolts and discs then look for the pipes
