Will do mate.

I've had to send theses back and ordered from LMF instead,they got me the wrong calipers

.but i had set the discs off already so now have two sets of discs

.

I'm just waiting for the spiggot rings to arrive.then make a bracket.

looking good m8, i am going to be undertaking this project soon, dying to find out what the mounts are as everybody seems to be keeping hush about it lol!

1800sri54 · 22-02-2008, 16:40

I'm still not 100% on which mounts to use,i'll keep you posted.

I'm struggling with getting my new brakes fitted,which is my number 1 priority atm.

1800sri54 · 22-02-2008, 16:47

Heres some pics of my new front brake kit (still to be redrilled to 4 stud and drilled)

Rear drilled discs.

My spiggot rings need machining out a little to fit the hub,but my main problem is the calipers don't fit which i was going to make a custom bracket for but i can't see how i'm going to line them up

.

The saga continues.........

Yes i know i've spoken to him and he says he made a bracket to fit them on but i cant see how with out changing the hub carriers or similar?as the holes are to close.

Looks like this could be good to watch

As for driveshafts could you not just use the F23 from the SRi CDTi complete with shafts?

If you found a bent one you could even get the 5 stud hubs etc (maybe a bit late no your discs are drilled

)

Thanks
I was looking at using the cdti shafts and hubs etc,but i didn't really want to go as far as changing to 5 stud as i wanted to keep the std alloys for a stealth look,but to be fair i'm really stuck with trying to fitting my brakes,(314mm veccy c)

i'm currently thinking that trying to fit some astra or vectra hub carriers.

Anyone will they fit?

Hopefully i'll have some other parts turning up in a couple of weeks (pipes,cam kit 'waterpump and a few nice little bits i'll keep ya posted

nyzrox · 16-03-2008, 15:50

You dont need to change to 5stud, to keep 4stud and use the astra shafts you have to have the inners machined out of the astra hub, and into the corsa hub.

ChrisAstley sport or w/e can do them i believe.

Im looking at Veccy 314mm brakes atm for mine... ChrisR said they were a pain to fit his bro's, he says mevira vxr's would be easier or something.

Interesting never thought about the meriva.i sent a couple of messages to chrisR but he said he couldn't find the drawing of the space but when i took off my brakes to measure them up ,there doesn't seem to be enough space for a spacing bracket.

As for driveshafts i don't have any atm and no cv's so i've got to buy a set.

my cousin said he can get me new shafts from a compan called Kaiserslautern.

Has anyone got the vauxhall part numbers for the astra z20let driveshafts?

Thats a shame as i was wanting to get the vectra brakes aswell. IF you ever get a drawing or a bracket made, would you be able to fire me the details to be able to get 1 myself.

For driveshafts mate, here is a screenshot of EPC3... one of the list are the driveshafts.

1800sri54 · 17-03-2008, 21:01

Your a star you've saved me some time with that cheers pal,when i manage to fit the brake i'll pm you with the details

I'll be taking down the garage next week sometime and take some measurements hopefully my house mate can make something to fit them.

**Benn** · 17-03-2008, 21:02

Any gen on where you got that epc? Pm if needed.

Need any details ETC... then PM me, or add me to msn mate we can have a chat. If you can get the brakes on and get me some details would be greatly appriciated, think il leave standard brakes on untill can get the Vectra's on.

Add me to msn bud.

Thats the kit i've settled on hopefully at the end of the month (pay day)i'll order it.I have used mtech gear before when pvd was is open.

i'm still stuck on my brakes

,hopefully one of you guys might know if Astra mk4 gsi turbo hubs would fit on my 54 plate corsa?

I need to fit my 314mm vectra brakes under my 16" sri alloys.

I'm still waiting on my friend to drill my front discs to 4 stud.he did the one to see if it was okay and it was.So now he's redrilling and drilling them for me.He said there a pain because there slightly bigger than the one he normally does as they have 0ne more vain in than he's use to so i havent rushed him as its for free(always the best price

)

I think they are bending you over and spanking you for the cost of that conversion kit!

Is expensive but would be easy.i want to do it quickly and need reliability.

Rick Draper · 03-04-2008, 10:37

Might be worth dropping Chris Reay off here a PM, i am sure he would be able to supply you with all the parts needed for the conversion.
