Can any on confirm...the sylver kits (specifically) the j15 with the triumph uprights.

Do they come with a 232mm disc with is 10mm thick?

And do these callipers fit:

"Your front uprights are basically Caterham.http://www.hispecbrake.co.uk/Ultralite%204%20Caterham%20to%20Suit%20232mm%20Disc.html These calipers can be fitted straight to your upright using the disc already there.Jeremy"


The uprights are sort of Triumph as modifed to suit a Caterham production car whatever that is. I have looked at other caterhams and some are the same and some are different.

I am not keen on Hi spec so I fitted Willwood 4 pots and vented disks both RallyD and Motorsport Tools do a conversion kit.

Thanks gents....must admit, I've always used wilwoods....but they do the hispec in blue...which, as luck would have it, is the same colour as my car will be...so for that reason, I'll give them a go.

I have 4 pot hispec calipers fitted to my J16 and they are brilliant.

Go buy them.
