Looks like standard set up will have to do for now

How big are those discs?? Any bigger and you'd need larger rims!!
think they are 340mm but I can't remember... they're flippin heavy anyway! Hope I never have to replace a disk at Ł240 each

Oh man if someone had lost my ap setup I would wants Thier balls if they did not replace them! Or the chance of them receiving payment for any work done would be zero.

Makes you wonder why we start modifying cars with amount of grief they cause lol!

still fighting about that, but he wasn't going to release any of the parts without payment so I had to pay half (still well into 4 figures by the way!) up front in good faith that it would be sorted out... but I've since found out that he's lost half the brake disk bobbins too so he has naff all chance of getting the other half now.

The callipers I had can't be bought any more, and the closest I can get are going to cost more to buy and fit than I owe him.

Lets just say I was a tad angry, and thouse of you who know me personally know it takes quite a bit to get me worked up - but I was ready to go to his unit that night and set fire to it... hopefully with him in it. Safe to say I have never been so angry.

But onwards and upwards... I'll just need to source standard callipers for the back just now

the company he originally worked for "no longer required" him, he left and started his own business, got really busy and mine dragged on for nearly 17 months

Somewhere in there they got lost

330mm sounds right for AP, anything over that was a "special" and ain't cheap, 430 a disc I think for oversize!

Sold my AP's from my Escort RS Turbo just a few weeks back, didn't think to ask you , sorry
