Default disks

you'll also have to get a banjo union for the flexies as the 2wd 4pots flexy entry hole is right where the driveshaft is!! also may need to get a few mm shaved of the mounting lugs to centralise the caliper on the disk

yes mate 2wd discs, 4mm of caliper and new pipe ends to clear the drive shaft.

i've got a pair of re-cond 4 pot's if anyone wants some, spent 80 quid on the seal kits!!!!

120 quid to you lads plus postage.
