now I know the seats are quite often swapped over between tuscans and Chims but are there any other parts that are used between the 2? obviously wheels with a 5 stud conversion, what about the brakes? do the tuscans use the AP 4 pots? and can they be swapped over with the hub conversion?
any other bits?
any other bits?
Not too scary, I sourced the calipers second hand for about £150.00. Got the discs and bells from Ebay from a cosworth for £100. Then had a custom alloy bracket made up to fit it all together they were £100.00.
Then I decided to go 5 stud so needed to re-drill the bells
I then put some Ferodo DS2500 pads and I imagine this will stop pretty well. Find out next week!
There are cheaper ways to do things if you dont mind getting your hands dirty

I didnt think the Tuscan discs were from a Cosworth? If they are part numbers would be handy!Then I decided to go 5 stud so needed to re-drill the bells

There not from a Cosworth usually...I just sourced a set from Ebay for my conversion as they were there.. then had the brackets made to suit. Being a disc and bell means replacment is easy now when necessary, and not that expensive at all from rally design or similar.Neal

Please excuse my slowness on the uptake today - the discs are Tuscan discs that you were lucky enough to fine cheap on ebay? Or have I missed the point altogether, in that you found some discs for a Cosw0rth upgrade that are the same size as the Tuscan discs? Neal
As you may have surmised, I would be pleased to save money on discs if I can get good ones

Scary prices indeed lol
Hi Neal...hate to be a train spotter, but those calipers look like the 6-bolt 450 cerbera version to me...a v.nice item indeed, These are what I intend to fit on my chimaera, have a bit of background as I had an issue with one of my 450 cerbera front calipers last year ..the bleed nipple cracked on the caliper..leaving me with one useable item, so got hold of two new items which came with a set of bells, i want to upgrade this to the larger cross drilled discs for the cerbera...freeing up the cross drilled tuscan discs currently fitted to my cerbera which will then go on my chimaera...but need another 6-bolt caliper..

I had these on my old Chimaera, think I paid £250 for the AP calipers , the disc/bells came from Hi Spec (http://www.hispecmotorsport.co.uk/) think they were around £400.00, a local engineering company machine me the brackets for £150.00. worked really well and looked like it came from the factory like that
