The pads are just standard R5 GTT caliper fitment (So nothing bigger) just what ever brand you fancy or re-use your originals if loads of pad left, The 285 discs I think are off a Renault 21 TX or something like that which have the 4 x 100 fitment like the R5. I think Ricardo got some off a 21 for the white R5 had which he has recently sold to shopboy.
renault 21 tx is the correct answer
TXi.... Just make sure its the 4 stud (4X100PCD) as most of the 21 range are 5 stud.
21 TXE isn't it?
I think Mart's Failboat has docked at Timmy's dock indeed
so do you use standard calipers just add with the extenders?
Renault 21 TXi 4 stud, i paid £65 for a pair from Unipart.
Google Brakes International for prices, obviously 285mm but mention this as they also do a 265mm disc for a TXi too
That's the beauty of the caliper extender, you get an extra 47mm in diameter and still utilise the GTT calipers and pads. They just bolt onto the hub and the caliper bolts to the extender, easy
Your man doing another set anytime Rich?
No, no worrie mate... just stick me down for a set as and when.
