You won't regret going that route 
Look on ebay for people breaking 21T's they are rare.
You will also need about 8 m12 x 1.25mm x 40mm bolts then you are away |

just a quick one. will my existing brake hoses match up to 21t hubs. i.e. length and fitting
also is it worth changing the front brake hoses to braided ones whilst im messing about with the brakes or just leave it as it is |

theres a 21t in a scrappy near me...or there was a few months ago...can get the calipers off it for you, but cannot guarantee their condition. |

They should be ok, just get them asap as they are pretty damn rare.
Not hard to free up. One of mine was siezed, garaged sorted em both for £25. New seals, free'd up sliders and pistons. Sorted. I packed some extra copper slip in the sliders just in case  |

Copper grease isn't a lubricant. Better off using normal grease on the sliders. |

well managed to source the caliper carrier and bolts for a bloke for the 21 turbo club so just waiting for them to arrive probably sometime at the begining of next week.
i have also sourced some TXi disc for 25 quid for the pair so thats good
next step is to find someone in portsmouth to fabricate the spacer brakets and to buy some pads.
then will fit the parts and then should stop a little quicker. lol
will post some pics when its all done.
just like to say thanks for the help |
