daniel_g Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Are the discs slightly larger in diameter than the old ones ? I had this ages ago putting GT discs on my 85 and had to get GT caliper carriers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Seconded - those discs are too big for the carriers.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keri-WMS Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Return them and get the right ones? Far cheaper than anything else - don't take 5mm off the carriers for sure!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

teta Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 had some free time so wanted to tackle the fitment issue,so decided to try to fit it the my project car,this time the mintex disc did fit the corsa hub but didnt fit the brake carriers strange???,then my third option was to try the gt4 calipers over the mintex,thnk god that one fitted or else i will have been sent to psychatric ward,then tested the gt4 brakes over the 256mm disc it fitted too please with that one,nxt step source some cheap ae90 hub calipers see if the ep82 soliel brakes can be uprated http://s1331.photobucket.com/user/jfj0000/media/IMG_20141126_182344_zps5c16c233.jpg.htmlhttp://s1331.photobucket.com/user/jfj0000/media/IMG_20141126_182146_zpsd96af1a2.jpg.htmlhttp://s1331.photobucket.com/user/jfj0000/media/IMG_20141126_182203_zps5fc836fb.jpg.htmlhttp://s1331.photobucket.com/user/jfj0000/media/IMG_20141126_182116_zpsef362b53.jpg.htmlhttp://s1331.photobucket.com/user/jfj0000/media/IMG_20141126_182053_zps9305be83.jpg.htmlhttp://s1331.photobucket.com/user/jfj0000/media/IMG_20141126_182031_zps0c4f2fbf.jpg.htmlhttp://s1331.photobucket.com/user/jfj0000/media/IMG_20141126_182644_zps46ebfc38.jpg.htmlhttp://s1331.photobucket.com/user/jfj0000/media/IMG_20141126_182640_zps781c81e6.jpg.htmlhttp://s1331.photobucket.com/user/jfj0000/media/IMG_20141126_182636_zps7f5427e2.jpg.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
