as soon as i get time to work on leeroys ill get them drilled and figure out the spacer i need off the orig ears. machining wise it would be $80 for 2xhubs and $100 to do centre bore and redrill 4 or 5 x100 pcd for both discs to bolt on.

ill give a price on the adapters once complete.

This is a fantastic thread, subscribed guys, i just wish this was around when i did my corona pug hilux upgrade, but none the less, it still works, for now!!!
Someone make sure there is a how to put up? And maybe a bulk buy for these calliper brackets?!!!

the brackets were rather costly for the r32 setup (700+) and there was alot of interest but nobody wanting to outlay so i only did 4sets.

still havn't put the R33 setup together as im limited on time atm but when i get to it ill let you know.

Just wandering if you can use the Wilwood calliper, I know they uses the Hilux 4 spot in a Datsun 240Z upgrade & the 88.9 mounting Wilwood is selected here.

it may be more cost effective using the Wilwood caliper, taking into account the machining the calliper & rotor cost & I guessing you can run the Peugeot rotors off the self, The Wilwood calipers are listed at $180.00 US each (No pads - from Dec 2006 price book) this should keep the weight down these item come in at 3.5Kg each
I’ll look a little closer at this option maybe some else has this combo?

Which Wilwood caliper costs US$180?

Also, most Wilwood calipers have no dust covers which means they are not allowed for street use apparently...

These are the two units in question
120-7429-L Caliper-Forged Superlite 179.22 1.75" Pistons, 1.25" Disc
120-7429-R Caliper-Forged Superlite 179.22 1.75" Pistons, 1.25" Disc
The dust caps not beeing present explains why we dont see them being used,
Here is a link to the web site for price book
http://www.wilwood.com/Products/index.asp
I will contact them about these dust caps may be they have these as an option?

YES!!!!!!!! i couldnt find this thread to update it before! heres some pics from my rides thread.

if the other strut magically comes together, i should be able to roll it round the block for its 1st drive in 14months!

its running a 30mm bolt on spacer (which is alot bigger then what i thought i would need!)

also the camber tops are dialed all the the way in, and only has a few deg of neg camber, (may look into ae86 neg camber RCA's)

absolute PITA to make it work but as per usual persistance paid off, 1 set of brackets left over if you need them, wont bother getting any more done unless i get an order of 10 as the amount of design time i put into them didn't pay off for the 4sets that i ended up selling.

BTW, blakes ones are for r33 discs and calipers not r32.

craig, you will be able to get away with a 25mm bolt on spacer,(should leave you 3-4mm away from the strut) ive got a 30, as they were out of 25's

ive got my camber dialled all the way in, whick is about 1.5-2dg, havent had it on a wheelo yet., i may still use some ae86 camber RCA's but will have to go for a thinner spacer (25mm) so the wheel still sits in the guard.

fingers, yep, uses teh xt130 hubs/struts, hubs are slightly machined for the r33 discs to slip on the back. the discs also need new locating bolt holes drilled.
