After looking at the sizes and the the book either are close... I think the ones i have here will be right. Most they are is 0.5out so. Will report bac kas soon as i know.
I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.
Yeah these are 280mm.

looking good, love the interior! Id be turning the hub down with it in 5th on axle stands and a file :P
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"
Been following this since the beginning... Looks great!
Could you not make some new brackets for the calipers to adjust the position or even machine the existing brackets say by reducing the thickness of them?
A big thank you to Dan for his help mocking everything up and a trail fitting on his GTE.
Now an even bigger thanks to Pete. Who spent this afternoon doing some machining for me.
So i turned up at Pete's house/Garage with all this..
Pete started off getting the hubs stripped down.. Ooo look at this size of his spanner.. lol
Bearing removal thingie.
Needed a bit more grip.. Carefully does it!
Now on to the fun bit.. Lathing.
The outer of the hub needed about 2mm shaving off and about 4mm from the center (to make it all the size side, no step)
Got my new disk to test fit.
Looks like the kittie. As the disk is for Vag car it's got a few holes, lucky it lines up with the 5stud hub
Bit of mocking up..
Oooooooo hello!
Bit of a gap on the rear..
Bit its a nice fit on the front
Shame you cant see the name tho.. New wheels would sort that tho...lol
With that sorted, i know what i need to buy to finish(a small spacer and 10mm longer bolts)
Pete pressed the other hub and bearing out.
Inner of the hub thats turned down to fit the Nova bearing.. All perfect after 5k of abuse.
Screw buying disks from Rally Design.
Once again a huge thanks to Pete (pitstoppete)

ben same brakes and size as mine. What you doing with the old drilled / groove discs?
I've fixed this for you. Benn
Top drawer!
They're there, in their room.
Looks good as always mate, funny that you were fitting these brakes the same weekend as I was fitting your old brake kit to my car. See my progress thread for pics. BTW do you know what discs are used in the kit I got off you as they are obviously not VX ones as the offset is completely .
i can only admire the constant effort put into this car? Are you not itching for something else :P Brakes look great!
