Hes got johnny big pants 17" wheels

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

I've got them on the Racer well AP5000's but they are the virtually the same.
I thought they would not fit with the 15" wheels but do fit if you use 16" tuscan wheels. your also need custom bells.

I do have 1 Spare Disc and Calliper.

You can borrow if you want to try for size. but as said your need to get a custom bell made and bracket made. or get a set of racer bells from AP.

I think I've posted some pic's if you do a search.

What about those Hi Tech ones that Kiri had for sale at the wedge fest a few years back .. they were for 15 inch wheels.

It is possible with 16" Tuscan Challenge OZ's

you have to grind away 2 mm off the brake calipers to have 1 mm clearance (see pic)

yes they was 4 pot's but the disc's was about 280 mm not 303 like the Tuscan's
Also hi Tech have had a lot of bad press.

AP do a smaller 4 pot calliper and disc, I can't remember the part numbers but you should be able to get a kit to fit under the 15" wheels. your looking over a grand though.

Where did you get the bells and calliper bracket.

Have you got a picture of the rear also.

Thanks

Had not heard about the bad press.. guess if you search around.

Guess it all depends what size of wheel he intends using..

Sorry, I do not have a pic from the rear. I bought the complete set from Hans Daalhuisen here in the Netherlands. He advertise regulary on pistonheads TVR parts with his complete sets incl. brackets. These sets fits perfectly.

ok will we burn it next time you are here but can you get me a price on the bells and brackets .are they tuscan disc

[350zwelgje]

Back on topic: have 300mm discs + 4-pot calipers with the standard 15" rims and I am very happy with these. These are hi-spec (with a varying reputation as can be found here on PH, and perhaps in the post before it got mixed up with hi tech...). It was also Hans that organised these for me.

[cantus]

Don't know what the price of the bells and brackets alone are but you can send an email to Hans Daalhuisen through his profile: Hansdaal

I have fitted the bigger disks as well but with 17'' wheels.
