I was going to get some copys made... There is some things everybody should know tho.
As I used the GTO discs you need a wheel with a big offset between the wheel mounting face and the spokes. I had to use 25mm spacers, as the spokes hit on the callipars... But I could get away with 10-15mm spacers.
The engineer also spaced the disc out from the hub 12mm.
So if your planning on using these mounting brakets you will have to make a 12mm spacer to space the disc out from the hub and have a wheel that clears the set up.

Here's a pic to give every one a bit of an idea of the spacings

yeah sux...

But I can measure up the setup to give you an idea of the right offset disc, so you could mount the callipar and braket on the other side of the factory pick up points. That way if you could find a disc the right diameter and offset you would be set :) Something like a S6 RX7???
I hope that makes sence :)

The computer system used at repco can look up brake discs by size the height (offset). Was awesome when trying to find rotors for a 4 pot conversion on my friends 280zx, falcon rotors were almost perfect :).

Not quite grafted LOL
Been like that ever since I known Jas...

But good things take time, this car looks AMAZING in the flesh!

Err yes.... That bonnet lol

Its been like that for years, just had other things to do. I've got a factory scoped bonnet Ill be using, as that bonnet needs a lot of work.
But I will get it done at some stage.
I've only got the motor, box, undercarriage, fuel system, and rear end to do first lol

Not to mention a thousand other little things
