MK2 4 Pot Conversion

Is anyone using Princess 4 pots on solid disks ?. I Know you can get a spacer kit to use Escort Group1 / Capri 2.8i vented disks But does anyone know if the Calipers will fit around a standard Escort Mk2 disk.

I already have the calipers but the pads are well worn and the disks I have are rusted to hell, so I realy need to check before I buy any new disks. ( I don't want to use vented disks as they are a bit ott for the Rickman !)





Projects :
Robin Hood S7 - Deceased !
SSC Stylus 16v - Sold
Spartan Zetec conversion
Rickman 2.0 Petrol (New Engine) - Sold
Rickman 1800 TD (ongoing)
TVR 400SE (Nearly a kit ?)

I know they fit straight on to cortina MK3/4/5 hubs,cos my old 4 pots are running nicely on stevem's locost.

Hope that helped

I believe they fit straight on, I am currently fitting a pair of ally 4 pots to my uprights but with vented 2.8i discs. I was told that they would fit straight on. No! I've had to make up some spacer collars (thick washers) to go between the upright and the caliper but it's no sweat really. Oh and for anybody contemplating EBC greenstuff pads, they're the right size to fit wilwoods/bremsports etc... but they're a bit stingy with the thickness of the material and also the backplate, not as thick as the hawk pads I got with the calipers (too hard a compound).

there apparently is an overlap that creates a lip on the pads when usin the princess 4pots but i think rally design do a slightly larger disc that stops it from happenin
