Need better brakes for my 4.3 Lexus 3UZ transplant. I have done 2 previous Rover brake upgrades on 2 previous TR8's, in both cases using the Rover 4 pots on solid rotors.
I picked up some adaptor plates for Rover hubs to XJS brakes,24mm vented rotors and calipers.
Just done a mock up, everything looks OK apart from the lining up of the mounting bolt points. Caliper to rotor clearance OK, but one bolt hole on the caliper needs modification.
This upgrade has been done before , just wondering if anyone that has done it can advise method of fitting that last bolt.
options;
1) extend oval out one bolt hole.(rat tale file)
2)enlarge both mounting points so both holes have a smaller mod instead of one larger one.
3) weld up one hole (beyond me) and re-drill.
Pic with arrow shows amount of enlarging required.
(ignore the state of that XJS rotor, only using it for the mock up.)
