Hi John, if you don't mind I would like to take a couple of dims of the caliper bracket, as I have the same hubs but the bracket I have doesn't quite fit and need to make another up, or modify it.

Notaproblem.
Let me know when you want to come through to take a look.
I am planning on fitting the kit this week end.

That's not bad for under R4k. I think my calipers alone were about R2.5k.

I've been looking around for a bolt-on kit for a while. The other day Garrin at Volkspares told meEmpi had the complete kit on special for R3,400.
Obviously my check card was out in a flash.
As you can see the kit consists of everything you need from the metal brake pipe onwards. Even the hand brake cables. The hand brake function is the main reason I went for the kit. I'm tired af battling with brake shoes and uneven hand brake function on the two rear wheels.
