Im gonna be doing a front disc conversion on the BIS soon, need a little help with regards to parts for it- I have the conversion mounting plates and spacers from trs, and a set of caliper carriers and calipers en route apart from discs and pads is there anything else I well need to complete the conversion?

(I intend on using this thread as a photo graphic build up for future reference)

Stuey good luck with the project!
Don't forget to take loads of photos. I can then add this project to the Owners Guides section...

Depending on what callipers you use, you may need a new set of rubber flexi hoses. As when I changed mine, the thread on the original hose was too fine for the calliper - though rather than getting new hoses, I got the calliper re-tapped.

I used old Fiat 1 pots from a 124 I think.

I did buy a set of 126 goodridge hoses... I'll have to check that..
