    adapting BBK to fit rear of mk3

    machining adapters is the easy part - f they were 355mm rea rrotors then they would work - but fact they are 324 - i cant get the caliper clos eenough to the hub without chopping something or moving the hub to otherside.. the reason why the other holes are suitable is because they are tighter...

    unfortunately, the kit is for a jaguar s-type.. although i could just redrill the pcd and make up custom brackets, im going to order the same offset hats as my brembos on soarer. that way i can copy the brembo brackets rather then having to make my own up.. also means that everything will...
