Hi all, I Managed to find myself a set of carbon brakes, disc's pads etc etc



Stripped the car down and cleaned up the old set etc, unsure whether I will sell these yet or stash them away safe for when the Nurburgring track days are upon us.

All covered in a cleaning agent and ready to wash down



At this point I stripped out the old units and put them aside



As you can imagine I am like a kid in a candy store and can't wait to get the new units all bolted up, that's when I hit a little issue, unsure what they are called but basically the five lugs that go through the steel rotors will not fit through the bells on the carbon set up, as you can imagine, I was gutted.






Has anyone done the conversion, I take it I can buy replacements of these that are a smaller diameter from the dealers. What are they actually called?

Bugger.

You sir are a gentleman.

Edit-

Further checks reveal the lugs on the steel brakes fit on the hub and the discs slide over the top, on the carbons the lugs need to be removed, the pccb disc fitted and the lugs fit on the top.

The above part number helped, but with or without pccb the lugs are the same. Result as they are not cheap bits, thanks again for your help.
