Std Tuscan/T350/Tamora to Tuscan S/Sagaris/Red Roses.

Is this just a case of new discs and caliper spacer/adjustment brackets?

Best place to source?

(I think I remember Daftlad telling me the pads/caliper were the same?)

You may have noticed a few 'upgrade' questions from me recently. Next spring I intend to go for:

- New wheels - 18s still though
- Austec Engine treatment
- Lots more trackdays
- Bigger brakes maybe

Oh, and a TVR Warranty when my 2 years engine cover is up at the end of May.

Might as well, nothing else flips my switch like a T350.

Two options.

1 - change the hubs to the Tuscan S hub then the calipers just botle straight onto the hub and the pads are the same. The disc size goes from 304mm to 322 mm. You will ne a full geomerty set up thought.

2- Get the increase spacer and bolts from TVR or call Dom at TVR power to get them for you. Dont hold your breath on getting the increase spacers quick, It took Dom 4 weeks to get them from the factory for me. If you use this option, get Tuscan S discs, use your same callipers and pads, and use the spacer, instead of changing the hubs.
