Does anyone have a drawing of a caliper extender bracket suitable for 285mm discs, or even some brackets they might want to flog?

Ricardo had some made for a group buy last year....

thanks steve for the info
I think Dale (Bigfoot) has got a set he has never used lying about
Yeah regarding those big brake conversion kits... I came across a second-hand kit... was wondering if it's any good:

Does it really improve braking a lot? I mean... you still have the same standard calipers with this kit...
Drawing's would be good.
I had them on mine for a short while until I needed to use them quite sharply and they just werent the same after that! Someone pulled out on me and I had to slam on otherwise end of GTT. I took them off shortly afterwards due to them making all sorts of noises and generally not feeling good under foot! each to their own though
And what about that kit in combination with Clio 172 calipers? Or aren't they inter-exchangable with R5 calipers?
Thanks yes I have a set, discs, calipers, green stuff pads. Even some front hubs to go with them.
Only problem I find having the conversion is you can have any smaller than 13" wheels and only certain 15" alloys fit, stuck for choice but braking wise a big improvement from standard setup, however, as the braking system on the 5 is old and has done many of miles in most cars its not as effective as it used to be.
