Errol,
Do you think it would be possible to use these Z32 calipers on a smaller disk.
I have been thinking of putting them on my rally car but wanted to use 14".
I've got 910 Bluebird struts which have vented disks at present & had been
thinking of putting these on the rear to replace my 240Z drums & getting the 4
pots for the front.
Thanks for any suggestions
