You could use vauxhaull callipers and carriers, no need for adaptors and easy to find cheap

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know which Vauxhall calipers and carriers fit mk2 roccos?

I can get hold of some Corsa 280mm calipers and carriers but don't want to end up with them not fitting...

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Andy
