They are Dynalites...they will fit under Speedlines with 300mm discs, that's how this set was being used by "Speedy". The only problem is the discs have to be bells and rotors and some grinding to the lower balljoint!
But, they should fit the standard 284mm discs easily...I'm having to use them because the Zagato wheels are so shallow (40mm clearance).

Ok. Thanks for the info. I'll be watching this project. Please follow informing us.

Fairly impressed with the machine-ing and engineering skills.!

Very nice work there, but why not powder coat these items as they are a common fault for rot?, I take it, they are on as a mock up.

Been trying to bleed the brake system but the pedal is still spongy, replacement master cylinder is on the cards now :roll:
But, the wheels now clear the Wilwoods properly after making some DIY wheel spacers :lol:

Mark a line around 10mm down from the top and commence grinding with a steel cutting wheel.

Hi man,
First must say that its great work!
But have one question.
Can you say what have you done with adapters for brembos of ar166?
-
Welcome to the forum :)
I still have them, not for sale though if that's why you were asking..sorry.

-
I like your idea of making spacers from the old discs.
I can see one possible problem though, haven't you lost the centre location (spigot) for the wheel?
-
It's close! There's about half the spigot left but with the chamfers it's damned tight...if all else fails I'll revert back to the standard calipers after thoroughly servicing them!
Although I do have another plan for the spigots...
Really ought to update this thread, I'm onto the bodywork now!

Some lovely work there, I've got a Delta here that needs some work doing if you need a job :tongue:
You should take some pics and show the guys how you form the panels.
-
Ok, will do a bit more detail in future...the former I used can be seen in the last couple of pictures (lump of wood), but I've also got a few tools which help :)

Hi Wrinx!
Just creat job you did on your Q4.
The rust is a real problem with all 155er, mine has the similar points, but as i can see one the photos even worser.
Yours Chris!

Well...the piece pictured above it still sat on my ramp, waiting to be welded in :oops:
Hoping to get around to it in the next week or so...

Oh dear :?
Finished the repair panel today and tackled a few more rusty areas under the rear of the car, usually covered by the fuel tank...the twisted wire wheels for grinders are excellent!
Started on the inner chassis rail, added a bit of rust converter:

Then the fuel tank mounts, plastic grommets were removed by screwing in a 10mm bolt and pulling them out.

Then the drain holes which are a usual point for corrosion:

Cleaned up a couple more areas and slapped more "Bondo" on!

The finished job...final paint and stone guard to be done after I've completed the boot floor repair by the wheelarch.
