hello

ive just been watching the wheel dealers show on youtube, and they whare taking the saab 900 turbo apart...

and 900 turbo has a handbrake operated on front brakes , with those small levers on the calpers. these calipers look great ,and have integrated handbrake

has anyone tryed to do this conversion?

... Hello Marko

You need to weld an Adapter plate to the rear axle and if you do that, then you can also use it from Ford or bether MGF ... if you take MGF you can use additional the Disc from MG or Maestro or Montego ( 13mm x 240mm ø) .. then you have already the PCD 3,75" 95.25mm (S&S uses this as far I know)

by the way Saab had different PCD's 4 x 114,3 (like MGB) 4x 108 (like Ford) and now 5 x 110 (like Opel)

But please try it so we know more!!

well i wasnt precise enough, i ment the use of the front brake calipers from saab that have integrated handbrake and are moch larger than any other rear calipers becouse they are from the front of the saab. ( front brakes always bigger). the discs themselves are another thing, when youre alrady doing conversions ,you can most of the time match up anything with everything its always the question of how much effort is needed.

..Hi Marko, I like your idea, and I understand exactly what you mean, but tell me what Disc you use in front by the 280mm rear Disc ... 300+ mm and what kind of wheels 15" and up so you can use this big Brake .. it is possible ! Ok use front AP or MGF (TF model 304mm Disc ø)

But if you buy them let me know the bolt on distance (TR7 has 82,5 mm like Ford M16 or Princess etc.)
