Not sure personally, but try posting on the Chim forum, a lot of the guys are very knowledgeable about brake upgrades and what does and doesn't fit....

Cant see why not our cars front hubs/uprights are not Cosworth sourced anyway, they are probably referring to the whale tail Cosworth which has hub specs different to TVR due to the 4 pot caliper system they used and the 4WD are different again scratchchin hence why the 4 pots and matching 283mm brake discs don't fit the TVR Chimaera/Griffith directly (alignment issues) which leave only the 2WD Sapphire Sierra Cosworth and XR versions inc later 2.0 EFI doners wink unless early Griff/Chim they are 1.3 1.6 sourced front brakes anyway frown they changed the front caliper mounting hole diameter on the Griff/Chim from 10mm to 12mm IIRC scratchchin circa 95

I had a set of these on the fron of my chimaera for a little while. I've also fitted a set on to an S without any fitting issues.

Both chimaera and S use the same front hubs.

I removed them as I couldn't stop the brakes squealing when applying light pressure once the brakes were hot.

Cheers
