If Norms are no good I also have an original set of them for 240mm discs including carriers and discs and a new set of pads. If you are coming to SCH you can have them for a donation to the charity

Mine were only removed to upgrade to 260mm discs so I know they work properly

email me if you want them - [e-mail]

XR4x4 calipers with XR4i discs. Caliper carriers for XR4x4 and XR4i have the same offset, but XR4x4 discs have a smaller offset as wheel carrier is different to accommodate driveshafts, hence you need XR4i discs.

Mondeo stuff can be made to fit as well Hans (in Holland) knows about these and has done kits as a single item

They are yours. Just need to make sure I bring them to SCH - would be worth an email to me the week before SCH (at weekend as I work away from home) to remind me. You will need to replace the bleed nipples though as I used the old ones on my new calipers as the ones fitted to them had been rounded.

Rob,

Are you coming to SCH2010 (you're not registered) and if so do you still want the calipers and discs as I don't want to bring them all the way there just to bring them back.

Please let me know via email or posting here

Mark

ps there are other takers if you don't want them

Hi Mark. I've found some XR4X4 calipers and am going to match them to a pair of new 260mm discs. When you did this did you need to alter the brake balance? Thanks. Joe

[mep12345]

No - To be honest it doesn't make braking sharper, just more progressive and less likely to snatch a wheel and lock up IMHO of course

I found that as well Mark. Expected a big change, bled the system a couple of times and have done a few hundred miles so should be bedded in. Like you say - better but not a massive difference.

Thanks Mark. Here's a photo of my set up. Everything lined up perfectly. Joe
