Well to answer your question I have the six pot calipers for the fronts and they are spot on, used brummies pads and they are awesome. For the rears ,well there lies a story as they only fit the 4lktres cars due the bearing carriers being different. Mine I are a work in progress trying to get the fit. Other than that they are ok

^^^^ on it wink
Though with past experience, the number that express interest v number that turn up can be different.
Saying that of course there seems to be a dependable usual contingent.
Should be good weather permitting.
plus, there's always beer

Do you think HI spec are good quality ? is it acceptable that things like that are happening ..

I can get over why my pads sit higher than the discs .
Personally I've got no problem with their quality. My problem was because I was fitting an SVA handbrake caliper to a 300mm disc supplied from elsewhere and there was a misunderstanding somewhere in my measurements / drawing. They re-machined the brackets at no extra cost to me, I just had to take a slight shoulder off them. All I lost was a little time, but gained a little more knowledge.
It's not really surprising that what is a standard brake kit doesn't always perfectly fit our cars on the first attempt though Daz, they're only kit cars after all aren't they wink

I just can`t see why they did not make the bracket slightly shorter or have larger discs machined .

I will be speaking to someone this eve about this. I did say previously that there maybe 20 of us, so looking at the list that is not to far out. Derek and myself will be going on Friday so we can see the lay of the land, so to speak.

Well, numbers of attendees are dwindling instead of increasing which is a shame. I have been working to have my car ready and will be there [poor time excuse book in hand].
Bit miffed that it seems the remap I was hoping for looks like it isn't going to happen banghead
Anyhow, be good to see some ole faces again thumbup
Oh, and Baz is staying Fri night and securing a space for campees, good man that he is. Trying to make the Friday too if I can, but don't let that that put you off hehe

I am planning on arriving Saturday night ( 20:00 ish) with tent and a boot of beer.

Was trying to find someone to take the camper up but failed so looks like I am slumming in on the floor.
