Thanks Theo. Don't go to a special effort to photo the inside this weekend - but next time you have T'Kreng on the hoist I would be grateful if you snap a couple. |

As a temporary fix for the tyre clearance problem I made up a pair of wheel spacers from some old rear brake drums. ![]() 1976 TR7 FHC (currently undergoing some TLC ...) 1980 TR7 DHC (a.k.a.

Respect for the enterprise, and the workmanship, Theo, but universal alloy spacers cost about £3 each, and weight a lot less. Old Blue. 1995-2001 Silverback. 2001-2007 SofS. 2007 - to date. |

Well the search for the drums took me more time than the actual machining, which was less than an hour. ![]() 1976 TR7 FHC (currently undergoing some TLC ...) 1980 TR7 DHC (a.k.a. Kermette, my first car bought in 1988 ) 1981 TR7 FHC (Sprint engined, a.k.a. 't Kreng) http://tr7beans.blogspot.com/ |

Quoted from omichaelshar Viewed from above... ![]() Bracket is 16mm wide where it is mounted to the strut; At the back it's 21.5mm wide; The mounting holes for the caliper are centered at the back; Distance from face of hub to heartline of disc is 65mm; Discs are 28mm thick Viewed from the inside ... ![]() Total height of bracket is 188mm; Mounting holes are 148mm apart; No decent measurements of the distance between mounting bolts and rear of bracket. This also depends on the disc diameter, mine are ![]() 1976 TR7 FHC (currently undergoing some TLC ...) 1980 TR7 DHC (a.k.a.
