Did that need a custom caliper mount Gerard?

John / Chris,
I tried to upload two photos , no luck with that so far.
I used a pair of second hand disc I got off a 07 BMW 316 and the calipers I took of a rally TR7 which I bought last year for breaking, Made the mounts myself so spent nothing

I can get the part number for the disc if required

I like it! Makes a refreshing change from throwing as much money at a problem as possible which seems to be the current trend.
I guess the disc is easily identifiable enough from a database such as Brake Parts International.

Sounds like we best hold off on that carbon ceramic disc and 6 pot upgrade just yet eh Jim??

I was happy to pay all the money for the carbon ceramics since it should keep the brake dust down.
I guess it should make the car stop better as well but that's a secondary concern.
