Waaay to much braking on 10" mate you would be far better off putting those 4 pots back on! still look nice tho

I had a set of KAD 6 pots with vented disks, and there was absolutely no way I was getting the wheel under the arch, even with cooper S steels I still had to put 1" spacers on to clear the caliper on the inside of the wheel which really defeated the object of having the S wheels in the first place. So I would love to see a picture of the wheel and arch to see how it fits...

Nice. would this set up work with MB split rims 10x7?
Mind if I ask how much a set up like that would cost?

This would not work with vented discs, I had vented ones on my works replica but had to have 6x10 gb wheels as the minilights taper in on the inside and the caliper fouls. but if you had s steel wheels i thought they had even less clearance on the inside? so not surprised you needed spacers aswell.
Ill take a picture later of the car and ad it to the link.
I hope its not overkill but as the car goes round the track a lot I thought it would be worth it. Ill have to wait and see.
I bought these from roofless for £400 I think with the pads. The discs were around £50 and the braided hoses were bought years ago but never fitted until now.
I will find out on sunday if its overkill or not when I go to Brighton!
