Hi Gaz

anyone that knows the calipers will know that they are willwood clipers

I put the AP on so it matchs my rear AP brakes

It was a good idea as everyone is doing that

Marco,

Is there a limit on the size of disc you can use with the standard bracket?

Cheers

max disc diameter is 330 mm & thickness 20.8,
if 4x4 disc is 22mm can you mod the caliper easily or will it squeeze on

well to be honest , i don't think so i have 330 x32mm discs on the rear and they are fine


the calipers have spacers so you can alter to suit the thickness of your discs


here is an old pic
