I happen to have a KAD rear brake setup that I would like to use on my 850 Mk1 (Only fitting to reduce weight and it was free)

Couple of questions
Will 4.5x10 Minilites fit without arches?
What Alloy front calipers do people recommend?
Is a brake bias adjuster required/recommended with the rear disc conversion?
Also I don't want to run a servo so which master cylinder is recommended (not the taller later type)

I would say ask KAD about fitment.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Reply from KAD re offset

"They move the wheel to the same position as the later type drums with the built-in spacer"

So does anyone know if 4.5x10 Minilites will fit without arches using the later drum? I know 4.5x10 steels do (just) as I have Rostyle's on the other car

Thats a nice looking motor. Any more pics?

I have the minis ares 4.5 inch wheels and I ran them without arches and spaced out as per the spaced drum setup

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
