came in from work tonight to find out the new 4 pots had arrived from grade a components. is this just a straight change over just replacing the brake pipes into the calipers, or is there more to it...jimmy

well had a go at fitting the new brakes today, found out that the discs were slightly bigger than the old ones so couldnt get the caliers to fit on. so i had to stick the old discs back on to get the calipers on, so a bit peed off about that, but i must admit the 4 pots look a hellava look better than the old ones. so now i need a pair of discs and didnt even think to measure what size i need

when they were off
