That looks a bit like the spacers on my Ford based set up which I have on the DHC.
And adding lightness is never a reason to knock someone for trying [;)]

I used Honda Civic/Prelude Discs, DBA No 184. 262mm Diameter, 51mm height and 64mm centre hole. They were the closest to TR7 I could find. I made a bracket to take the caliper, bored the centre hole, and
drilled the 4-stud pattern.

I like the way it should be! Looking for a solution that fits internationally :-)

Well, if you can find a suitable disc with expansion potential .. if the 260mm is still too few to Hispec Caliper (like beans .. super solution) you can take the next size, with the same adapter .. looking as the Audi disc (68mm center hole, 56,2 deep 256 or 280mm) for 13"Wheel or up

So go on .. Morley To combine aluminum hubs with heavy Disc adapter rings is probably bullshit .. I like people who want to do something better hangers (Mitläufer) are the most [8)]

Thanks to Stag -

Beans makes almost most the TR7 to How to optimize and we all were able to benefit a lot from his knowledge - I wanted to say - Thanks

So Morley keep us up to date!

I have a full PDF Brake spec catalogue if anyone would like it emailed.

It would be easier to browse for specs than the brembo website.
