What is the diameter of the disc, ie 260mm or 290mm, the internal measurement for the handbrake shoes is either 170mm or 190mm.

I think the v3's are a funny one for the rears, are they not still single pots and not 2 pot like the other type R's?

the Brembo discs are 316mm vented...........

the v3 type-R has a fairly unique fitment 290mm SOLID disc with a 190mm h/brake drum to suit the R180 r/diff........they are fairly difficult (and expensive) to sort but i may well be able to arrange for you
