He's on a mission to find out if genuine 2wd Saphs came with the under bonnet sound deadoning pads, some say yes, some say no!
Low owner, low milage cars nowadays that are untouched are rare!

thanks again guys,it has a 4x4 bonnet fitted as far as the sound deadening thread goes
as for fitting the AP 4 pots,I had to space the wheels 5mm out and shim the caliper .5mm inwards otherwise no issues or wheel rubbing.
will get some more pics up soon

the shims are only about 2mm thick but a 10mm spacer would see the job done without shimming the caliper I recon
