d.p.n.s Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 As title would hint at I'm looking for 4 pot callipers that will fit a 260 x 19 disc. I know that the good old Austin princes 4 pots bwil fit .........but any others. I've been trying to find a chart that cross references calipers and disc sizes but had no luck.

Testament Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 wilwoods? 2 pot early lancer evo maybe rx7 possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm no expert by i'm pretty sure evo 2 pot's are not 4 pot? Although good pad options are available and they will stop something lighter than an evo pretty well. Yeah Fc rx7 are an option but not all that easy to get cheap these days. here is some inspiration for small brake upgrades.. http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Brake_Swaps http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Hilux_Calipers Hilux stuff is limited for good pad material straight off the shelf, but FD rx7 pads can be persuaded to fit if you have a bench grinder and a dust mask. (heavy cast hilux calipers in my project thread for starlet. Mitsi GTO 4 pots are aluminium and will suit a 16in wheel, although they are better suited to a much thicker disc (30-32mm thick). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hey Dan I have some Princess calipers we could do a deal on if you want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Wilwood Dynalite forged 120-6086 should fit that rotor. I have rotors very similar in dimension and that's what I'm using on my KP. They don't break the bank either. Lack of dust boot seems to be a concern for some. But I know several guys running them and it's never been an issue. A plus vs clunky old Princess calipers, big ol' Hilux and Japanese Sumitomo 4 pots etc is they are a really small, light unit affording lots of wheel clearance. Let's face it you'll spend similar money rekitting and refurbishing a set of second hand clappers (well, I'd rekit/recondition any second hand brake/hydraulic component I put on a car anyway).

Valiant Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yeah sweet they are pretty hefty old things. Buy the whole car and I'll throw the diff in for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedRac3r Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If you want to go with Wilwoods, call MRP and speak to Barry Manon. He'll be able to sort Wilwood calipers and pads, brake lines and he carries adaptors to suit the more common stuff. http://www.mrpltd.co.nz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a set of FD RX7 4pots which are the same as FC just no fins. MAZDA casting machined off cause i was gonna put them on the escort.
