Are you sure? V6 / turbo stuff bolts straight on without a spacer plate?? Fits same as 2ltr stuff

Mine bolted right on.

What discs are those?

Not a clue! I bought the seup off a friend as the V6 setup :confused:

Must be something different then! The callipers are identical to the 256 setup I had previously and as for discs I really don't know! they measure 284mm but will check again. But looking at it the calliper wouldn't go on without the spacer

Id put money on them discs not being vauxhall ones, so the offset on them is wrong, hence they sit too far "back" on the hub..... touching the knuckle

Yea that could well be the case, you have a PM ;)

looks like you've got a kit that goes bigger disc but respaces the 2ltr caliper.

tbh bud I'd either swap the setup for turbo or v6 or go 4 pots. V6 calipers are dead easy to come by as they were fitted to all 2ltr veccy's aswell. I may even have a spare pair in the shed if you can't find any local. Turbo ones would be better tho as they are meant to give a better pedal feel as they have a smaller piston.

Cheers dude,

To be honest the only reason I bought this setup is that I got it so cheap with brand spanking new callipers. So seeing as I've got it sorted now i'm going to run this setup until I can afford a 4 pot setup later down the line.

I think it should still be adequate with the pedal box and full braided lines.

Few more bits done, not alot of pics....

I've had my Topmounts machined down by 3.5mm to get a bit more camber

Balanced bottom end with ARP rod bolts. Now has sump on, cambelt backplate and pulleys. Then started on matching the inlet manifold and head ports. Didn't get any pics though, sorry :(

Drivers seats in and harness's all sorted
Left the harness's out though as the seats come back out for easier access!
