I don't say it won't be avalaible for public, full development is not complete.CMS-GT4":1736jqmn said:I have been thinking of your conversion merlin. Its a shame your caliper bracket is not available to the public. One could use custom hats and rotors with that setup as well.

Iirc, without any bracket...

Not even close. To fit they'd need to have an extra 1/2" of spoke clearance around the caliper, and to have more room around the outside of the rim. Yes, you read that right, they hit both the spokes and the rim at the same time.
SSR Comps however, will work. There's about 1mm clearance on the center-most part of the spokes, but there's room everywhere else.

There is a guy here that makes a kit. I have one ready to fit onto my car. It uses 295mm Subaru front disks. You need to split the caliper to fit it, but the kit is basically a spacer behind the disc, and another spacer behind the inner brake pad to centralise them. the only other thing you will need is longer wheel studs. All the parts are laser cut and spot on. Kit cost me £100, add the calipers, discs, new pads, brake lines, I guess I've spent £350 total.
To fit the conversion it goes a little like this
Remove all the old components until you are left with this
Remove a small section of the backplate to accomodate the larger st205 caliper
Before
After
And the tiny piece that needs to be removed
After this fit the spacer onto the flange and bolt the inner section of the caliper into place
Then place the brake disc in position and bolt the outer section of the brake caliper up onto the inner section remember to place to 2 rubber seals in place :wink:
After this simply fit your pads and 1 more spacer
