Question

Hi All

My sister has a MY96 sport and the brakes are warped, I have measured her discs and they are 260mm dia, I have been given a set of discs by Ian Sadler and she has measured them and the are 278mm dia Now obviously they won't fit with her single pot calipers but I have found a set of 2 pots for sale. If I get 2 pots will they the mate up with the 278mm discs?

Thanks in advance

Paul Palmer

If the calipers are off an early Turbo (pre 99) they should do as I asume that's what Ian's came off.

Will 2 pots fit the hubs?

Iain.

The calipers and disks will match, but I've never tried 2 pots on a sport!
Try It!

I may have to take the risk. If it works it will improve the braking

Thanks for your help
