Anyone here with Wilwood brakes fitted ?

[MrD]

Ah ,may be a case for some spacers,have no idea what make the wheels are ? Anyone have a clue what thease are ?

[Brunty]

Wow, small brakes you have there!

No idea about the wheels though... I'd just get the 4 pots and see if they fit... Or budget for some nice 15" Compomotive MO that fit over perfectly ;)

[MrD]

I know,they look pityfull Rear drums look even worse,seen bigger on a mini !!

Yeah think i might just get them,Mr Funk,sorry but is there any chance you could measure the brakes and disk at it`s wideest,no hurry ,just whenever you get chance.
Broke my vernier yesterday trying to measure the bore on the wheels,was only a white plastic one,can`t see the numbers on the decent metel one i have,eyesight is getting worse the older i get

They are not Mk3 Toyota Mr2 wheels are they?

[MrD]

Not sure,they don`t have any sort of stamp on them,well not really looked under the layer of gim yet,they need a good claen,and will eventually get around to spraying them proper.
Junglist didn`t know what they were,and neither did the bloke he got them off.
Think mr2`s are 5 stud ?

[MrD]

Well i got my spigots,ordered last Wed,turned up today,going to try a test fit,then if they are hunky dory,going to get a mate to copy them in brass,as thease are plastic.

[Mr Funk]

Morning,
Haven't had a chance to measure the brakes yet as the car is at the garage until Friday. Will post then

[MrD]

Cheers Mr Funk
Had to order another set of spigots,last set were way to small,57.1 to 72,i had 57.1 to 64.new set are much better and stronger,and fit like a glove :D Don`t think i will bother getting my mate to make some brass ones,as think this set will be fine.

[Mr Funk]

I didn't forget....
Okay, so i did a bit. Yesterday turned a bit mental (see resto) but it's downstairs and I'll measure up once I've had my brew.

[Brunty]

A man needs his brew in the morning, but over an hour?

[Mr Funk]

It's a big cup. And there may have been toast involved.

[MrD]

Yeah i also need a measuring jug full of coffee (since i samshed the coffee jug on the machine) before i function,and 4 smokes too boot.
Got about 4 inches of snow here now,so my plans of fitting my battery cut off switch,and new rear brace (Cheers Haddock+chips) are on hold now.
Had to use some cunning yesterday,tried to solder on some cable lugs for the switch,and my soldering iron could not heat it up enough,25m cable draining all the heat,so had to use the ceramic hob on full chat,to help heat it up,worked a treat,and those connections are not going anywhere.
Moral of the story is don`t put stuff off till tomorrow
