For some reason there doesn't seem to be enough tolerance between the ABS ring and sensors. I took it for a longish drive last night and it appears to have bedded in a bit and the rubbing noise is starting to go.

I had new discs and pads fitted recently and it came out of the garage grinding (like a metal on metal sound). I took it back to the garage who fitted them who apparently did nothing and now it's back it's great.

Sorted out ht leads so my freshly done abf conversion is now firing on all 4 cylinders ha. Um cleand about a ton of old 8v bits and tools out of her as she's been storage for it all as I've been doin the swap. Put fuse box back together and dash back together. Ran a wire from coil pack to fusebox for my original rev counter to work. Ran a wire from ecu to diagnostic plug as I accidentally cut the wire needed and wrapd it up opps. Umm stood back and admired and waiting to take it out
