These are Wilwood Powerlite 4 pot calipers for vented discs part no. 120-8729. Bought these last week to replace the single size calipers I already have. When trying to fit them on with the vented discs found that they are too tight  . Cost me £217 delivered last week. £160 delivered, a credit crunching £57 saving! Thanks for looking.   |

Thought I had better clear up that the calipers didn't fit on the Vented discs because of the mounting bracket, the bracket was designed to be used with solid discs and I thought that it should be alright to use vented with appropriate calipers. Well expensively wrong! So now I have a set of vented discs and calipers for vented discs that I can't use.  . |

It cost me £600 to get the bracket and stuff from America in the first place. Had to get them from there as no place else seems to do anything for old Fiats, even people from the Fiat Spider club order them from America. The development is not as wide spread as for Ford, Minis or even Brit stuff. Already went down the wrong path after being advised that a certain caliper would fit to my car, which it didn't! I had bought the discs for to do that originally. Sorry Tarox do do a kit but it was £1050 + Vat, maybe in hindsight it would have been better getting it! Oh well, you live and learn . Just have to have to have non vented discs on the front. |
