Cheers Bill - bit of dryness this morning confirms I don't need to push the relativly spongey pedal much to slow rapidly from 120.

Jase - cheers for the offer, but I'm gonna try it with the helper that I live with tomorrow.. see if she wants to help me out.

which callipers mork? modded girlings or what?

 

[m0rk]

Leon Cupra ones

had to take 5mm off the calliper mounting bracket where it meets the hub carrier.

No other mods to i tho

 

[cordobabrendy]

how easy to change to 5stud hubs? and what bits, my fond metals are on order but i can change to 17" 5 stud if i need to.... all about how much 5 stud conv costs tho.

 

[m0rk]

Dunno, 5 stud is easy enough (although I just drilled the discs) but will do 5 stud next time the discs need renewing.

Nice tidy job there makes mine look small

Lurid jurids? you mad?

got any pics with the wheels off?

 

[m0rk]

Jurids chosen for economy as I assumed it wouldn't work they suck the ass big time.

pics with wheels off - no, but can do tomorrow.

PS - ABS now functioning - but too windy to go out & play 'stop on a dime'

Mark,

would these fit behind a std. 20vT alloy ?!?!?

Very nice and tidy job though mate, you must be well chuffed !!

 

[m0rk]

probably not

just need someone with a 20VT to proove me wrong sometime.

My Super T's are pretty well cut out on the inside.

[andyj]

Just thought, not possible for me to do anyway. Well, not without doing the full hub conversion thing !!!!

Will just have to save some serious cash and just buy a 2.0 16V something or other !!!

Mark, if you wanna try a 20vT wheel over it this weekend I'm sure my mum will have the car around here.

 

[m0rk]

Oooh yeah - good plan!
