What car is it for? Do you have your heart set on these? I may have something else suitable for the job.

Damn, disregard that! I was going to suggest Mondeo MkIII calipers as they can fit Capris and allsorts; they work with with a 280mm ST170 disc very well too. If I didn't go with the Cosworth upgrade, and already have the 2WD Cossie discs, and not fancy drilling out my hubs to take the new calipers I'd have put them on the RST. As it was, the 4WD Cosworth calipers were a league above the 4 pot Wilwoods  . In short, without having a 15" wheel they won't be much cop but they would usurp the Princess calipers by quite a way in stopping power and be lighter . I take it you are still on 13" wheels? |

Hiya Dan B,
I think you're in luck?!! I've just found a pair of Princess calipers in the garage. I've stripped them down and they are definitely reusable. They were even fitted with alloy spacers for use with vented discs. If you can send me your e-mail address then I can send you some photos, to see if they are suitable for you.
Regards,
Pete

It's on 13" low ET wheels. I have a princess setup with AE86 discs fitted to my other Dolomite and it stops great! I need to double check it is Princess calipers fitted and not Metro. Anyone know how I can tell the difference? |
