Viva front uprights

Postby 2GB Racing » Thu Dec 17, 2020 11:44 am

I am restoring a Historic 750 race car which is designed for the geometry of Viva front uprights, I purchased an unbuilt from the 1970s a chassis with front uprights, hubs and discs as removed from a car which I am sure are Viva, The Girling calipers are currently being rebuilt, I have gathered new bearings and grease seals, But I could really do with a contact and or part numbers for discs 210 mm so not Magnum / Firenza and standard road compound pads please.

If you can't get the OHV Viva ones then the larger OHC are exactly the same but a larger diameter. If you have access to a lathe you can turn them down to size.
