Do you have the discs and calipers sourced already?

New discs coming and already have the calipers and hubs.

Where are you getting new discs from? Just curious if we can get all the parts for a disc brake conversion new and locally sourced without having to import them from the UK.

Start of the same process as on the GT. Took the bearing races out, as well as the ball joints off the hubs :

Will be using two RHS calipers to make one decent one :

Should be fun cleaning these :

This looks like a fun little project!  I'll be following along.  I might be buying a 1275GT soon, but nothings concrete yet  :shifty:

The hubs and drive flanges were rather crusty and covered in old grease, so I gave them a good clean :

And they now look like this :

Also, in case anyone was interested in seeing, this is the possible final look of the car, bar the wheels :
