Update on st170 brake conversion.
Before:
Work in progress
As u can see the disks where nackerd lol
This is the size differance:
Drilling the hubs out for the st bolts
The bolts are slightly longer but didnt need cutting down
Fitted and calipers painted
Need to get a nice set of drilled and groved disks with some goodridge hoses now hopefully there will be some at the donnington show on the 1st if i cant get any from there i will get some from santa pod im sure.

Little update befor she comes off the road for a new clutch to be fitted and steering rack
