280mm conversion
« on: 04 August 2005, 20:37 »
The stuff I have at the moment is :

g60 calipers with carriers and pads.
g60 discs (280mm x 22mm).
22.2mm master cylinder.

I'm sourcing a set of 16v/g60 hubs to finish the kit, but I am not really big on this conversion. Do I need anything else other than a set of hubs? Do hub flanges come with the hub, or is that another part? Is there anything I am over looking?

Cheers.

i think you've got the lot there!!! its pretty much bolt off - bolt on so i doubt you'll have any problems, and at least you've got those 15" estorils that'll fit over them!!

I'd do em while you've got everything apart, also check the steering rack boots, noticed one of mine was split the other day :cry:

Also worth upgrading to braided hoses whilst you're at too ... might aswell seeing as you're there.
