dumb lazy brakes question

[Top Gear TVR]

for those of you that have swapped from 240 to 260mm discs:

is it simply the calliper mounting bracket and disc that changed or is a new calliper required?

hi - its a specific answer i'm after - its a common conversion

Steve, you need the whole "kit", disc (that ones obvious), caliper, carrier and pads.


Check out part numbers for pads on Chimaera with 240 & 260, they're different


Now then, do I know anyone with a set for sale?

I've already done the 283 machines to 278 conversion on TGTVR, but I'm intrigued by the option to go 260 using existing caliper on V8S. Just wondered if a mounting bracket alone plus disc could make it possible: minimum effort style....

I was thinking that if it's just a carrier and disc swap then no hydraulics to play with.

Joe, I meant with no hydraulic disconnection

I suspect the answer is 'dunno' - I'll do a bit of investigation
