Outboard rear disk conversions?

[lancia4wd]

Hi,

I understand that a Jaguar X300 vented rear disk setup would fit to a Wedge, i saw a post of the IRS forum about a Wwedge owner trying to but no response form that post, it was a few years old.

I can live with increased unsprung weight, and gain vented rear brakes , easier maintainance, but has anyone tried at all ?

Regards


Nick

If you want a wedge to go, handle AND stop... buy an Esprit

Ian Wilson is a proper clever bloke when it comes to upgrading and modifying

Nick,

I should take more photo's.

I'll have a rolling chassis in a couple of weeks time so will get the camera out.

Ian,

No need for an Esprit, I have incorporated Lotus suspension technology as you'll see shortly.

Henry has similar as it was trialled on his car but they went further with mine as we had a bare chassis to start with.

I'll look at and read the brake info

Oh look, rear suspension modified to take a top link. So presumably it has CV-jointed driveshafts. Now what was I saying a couple of weeks back..?
