Andy, I just looked at my wheels again this morning. I have one LP875 wheel and 4 LP875W wheels. (Now I understand what you mean by "wide slot".) So it looks like if I want to use the wheels that I have I will have to pass on the GT6 brake parts. I really appreciate your help on this. You have saved me a lot of effort, expense, and trial & error. Thank you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Creig Houghtaling St. Louis, MO

That is why I like them. I can use my original style center hub caps and the car looks relatively original. So would this wheel be similar to the later 4.5" wheels and fit or would it be more like the 3.5" wheel and not fit? I just looked at some pictures of early model GT6s with wheels similar to mine. http://www.triumphspitfire.com/images/cars/EdwinTiben.jpg Perhaps my Mk III 4.5" wheels are the same as these? (That is what mine look like.) ==AM== If your 3.5" wheels have the "narrow" slots, then I believe you're ok. Compare the picture you note above to <http://www.triumphspitfire.com/images/cars/RWidner.jpg>, which shows wheels with the wider slots. It is some (all? there are two different styles of wide-slot wheels, believe it or not!) of these that will NOT fit the larger caliper and rotor of the GT6. --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
