ATM Posted January 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 It appears 17 inch wheels do fit. Caliper is hard up against the wheel inner face without a spacer. Hopefully you can see the distance between the wheel and the disc facing. Fine once I added a spacer I had lying around - not sure how thick. I spun the wheel around and nothing rubbed. You can hopefully see there is not much room between caliper and wheel barrel. Space between caliper and wheel inner face is obviously dependent on the size of spacer used. Took a few pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I dont know if anyone has read the whole thing recently from start to finish. I'm assuming most people just dipped in and out as and when as the time ticked by. It's feeling like the car is finished now. But I will update here if anything changes. Car is booked in for MOT next week. Expecting a clean sweep. Although I did get an advisory last year for worn rear pads. If I get time I will order some new ones. They look fine to Me. I believe they have the same brakes on both the 2.7 and the 3.4 cars. Just calliper colour is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 The S has bigger front discs but rears are the same and calipers are a different colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATM Posted April 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Ordered some Textar pads off Ebay. Front and Rear. Ordered some TRW Front discs from Autodoc. I think the rears look fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygo Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 On 4/27/2023 at 11:03 AM, ATM said: I didn't manage to save the rear wear sensors Cut off the wires about 40mm downstream exiting the multiplug that would normally attach to the brake pad sensor and join the stubs together. Hey presto, no warnig light. And its very easy to see through the wheel to check brake pad wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
