Default ST170 Front Brake Convers 4 RST

Alright everyone howz it going,I know there's several post already been put up on this subject but I still not seen definite answer to these questions

What is the size of spacer required?
Does anyone know of any one who makes them and how much.
Will my brakes hoses fit new calipers?

Sorry to go over old ground but the other posts were unclear.
Cheers

Hi mate i've got these brakes and their alot better than standard, you can really tell the difference. Standard hoses still fit but while your doin it you may aswell fit braided lines. sorry i can't remember the size of the spacers.

Lol would be nice but my current disc's are very warped which is not very nice to drive and have got good deal on ST170 disc pads n calipers.

Have got braided line already its a must i think

There must be some one who makes those spacers as its a very common converstion. Maybe AP racing or ?????
