wilwood powerlites on cortina uprights
hi
has anyone used the above, powerlites on cortina front hubs? I thought they were compatable but mine don't seem to get the clearance against the
discs? I'm thinking of making a spacer but just wondered if I am wasting my time and they will never fit!
Same goes for wilwood handbrake calipers on rear sierra hubs. I have the hub/bearing carrier for a drum setup with an adapter bracket to fit sierra
rear calipers. I have "adjusted" it so that it will line up using the wilwood adapter for the fronts but again will not clear the disk or
the upright (mk indy upright on the rear).
Any one have experience in these?
Cheers,

I got an adapter to effectively rotate the mounting bolts thru 90 degrees. It bolts through the two holes in the calipers and then into the uprights.
Is this the one you mean or is there a smaller couple of mm spacer?
cheers,

Its like a rectangular block bolts on the hub - then the bolts for willwood bolts in, as you say at 90 degrees pointing along length of car.
The bolts mounting the caliper pass through spacers which space the caliper off the rectangular bracket.

I have this set up on mine. If your disks hit then maybe the 90deg rectangle spaces are not the correct ones. I dont think i have any warmers but can
check tomorrow.
Warmers = spacers!
