for clarifying that Paul - ever thought of becoming a referee ?

Yes thankyou for that info, just means the conversion is a bit harder, not impossible.

Earlier in this thread some one suggested that the 265 mm discs might fit within the standard (spaced) or P/M16 callipers. Has anyone followed this up? Does it all fit?

Anyone knows if Ford Escort´s (mk1/) hubs fit to Magnum`s stub axle? Or Volvo 240´s
Escort´s front bearings seems to be same as Hc Vivas.

I seem to have got my impetus back for my viva, and now frantically planning things, can somebody give me 2 dimensions for Renault 21gtx discs that were suggested for the brake conversion, does anybody know the thickness of the disc, 22mm? or bigger,
Thankyou
Ian,

guys thinking of doing a vented brake upgrade myself on the viva,already have the viva 2.3 hubs and uprights i also have a set of 4 pot princess callipers,doing some research on the brake disc so will let you know my findings.also want to try and keep all this behind a 13" wheel

If you machine 2.8 Capri vented discs down by 3mm diameter you can use Princess or Volvo 4-pots under a 13" rim, it's a very popular mod on club rally Escorts. I did it myself before I went to AP.

I'm on with mine at the moment just waiting for the mounts to be finished, i went for alloy calipers simply because of all the added weight you get by fitting vented and cast calipers,

ok guys thanks for the input,the discs i used are renault 21 savanna discs that are 264mm,drilled the holes in the discs and used shorter 12.9 grade (iirc) bolts the 4 pot bolts straight on with a small spacer.no pad overhang,will not fit behind a steel 13" wheel tho without some relieving of the calliper( not ideal)or a wheel spacer(better)
