Where to get Princess 4 pot spacer kit ?
As the title suggests... where can i get a spacer kit for my princess 4 pots to fit capri 2.8 vented disks on my Cortina uprights ??
Also there seems to be some talk of the thickness of the spacers (6,8,9 or 10mm ?)
Cheers

Depends on the thickness of your replacement discs against your original ones. From the brakeparts int catalogue
http://www.brakeparts.co.uk/ the cortina ones are 13mm & the capri vented ones are 20mm so a spacer of 8mm would seem your closest bet.
the original princess discs were also 13mm thickness. HTH Cheers, Steve

Incidently, if you can't find princess callipers, the inner halves from a Triumph 2000 and the outer halves from a Hilman (or is it vice versa -
I forget) make up a Princess calliper.
An old trick from my MGB brake conversion days!
The pay isn't very good , but the work's hard.

Thanks everyone for your help, I have ordered my spacer kits from Peter Lloyd (£29.99)
when you add the seal kits and caliper paint and 6 new bleed nipples my 'bargain' calipers have all of a sudden cost me a small fortune!
(well about £120 anyway)

still half the price of the outlaw m16 alloy calipers, though about twice the weight

the weight issue isn't as bad as some would have you beleive.. they are only fractionally heavier than standard M16's (obviously not alloy
ones)
which by the way I now have a set of going cheap! (as removed from donor)
