CaMpylobacter Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 austin princess ap 4 pots should bolt straight on - just cant use backing plates??? and have to slpice the brake line into 2 (each caliper has 2 lines, instead of one like the escort calipers) pads just overlap a bit but thats no problem theres heaps of princess' shat out all over the place. mat picked some calipers up for $25 from this old cunt in feilding.

Gaz Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Dunno about your 2l calipers on the front. The rear Ghia drums are good. really only the front that needs work. What power do you have? The best way is to go with bigger disks but how big you go depends on your wheel size. 15inch can accomodate 300mm disks and AP calipers. Even just AP clipers would do a fair amount of differance. There is some AP calipers on trademe right now for $100 reserve. PM me if you want larger disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the hp will be atleast 130HP if not more. Havnt had it dynoed yet and as for rear drums mine are about 6" i need atleast 8" to past the cert right?
