Jimi: thanks, if the mounts on the calipers are in about the same position that's true.

323baur: yes boss!

Obviously you are usung vented discs, 22mm?

The Powerlite accepts disc diameters from 240mm to 285mm and 2 disc thickness, solid (9-13mm) or vented (20-22mm). Piston diameters 1.00", 1.25" or 1.38.''

Part Numbers For Ordering:

Part Number-------Bore Size-----------Disc Width
120-8729---------1.38" 35.1mm-------.79"-.86" vented
120-8726---------1.38" 35.1mm-------.35"-.50" solid
120-8728---------1.25" 31.8mm-------.79"-.86" vented
120-8725---------1.25" 31.8mm-------.35"-.50" solid
120-8727---------1.00" 25.4mm-------.79"-.86" vented
120-8724---------1.00" 25.4mm-------.35"-.50" solid

There are a few options of powerlite calipers, which ones have you all gone for?

Using standard vented discs with the wilwoods and pads fitted is a tight fitting and the disc just about spins freely....

rally design have sent me the hoses

cost £10 each plus the silly amount of posting of £9.50, cheaper if buy bulk in future.

gonna get some heat shrink later and cover up the hose to stop tarnishing.

made to order and almost next day delivery

My car is still at the back of a yard 40 miles away. Anyone mind sharing sizes for hoses?T

call rally design, you need 2 brake hoses 60cm long with m10 x 1 female fittings and then 2 x willwood to metric adaptors, (male imperial end screws in the willy and male m10 x 1 for the pipe.) jobs a good un! should cost you about £35 inc vat and postage, postage is silly so bulk together n get em cheaper

Plenty of clearance under 13" rims

Also no extra pedal play for me after careful bleeding of the rear brakes.
