I measured the discs today and you're right, they're 200mm
Also the callipers are PBR and the strange part is they have the top part of the logo grinded off to put these strange plate brackets on to itWhat do you think might be the go there?
Also I might mention at this time that I would like to put a booster on as well how do I go about doing this?

Hi Dane,
you have KE10/KE20 discs.
interesting that you have the PBR calipers too, they are Aus made.

just FYI, the Akebono calipers came with 2 different piston sizes, KE10 was small and KE20 was larger (but same diameter as the PBR, and the later KE30/70 pistons)

plate? any way you can get a pic of it?? i had a set of PBR calipers in my KE15 stuff, and i don't remember there being a plate. are they pad anti-squeal thingos?
hmm, from gregories 122

"Note: PBR types utilise an additional bracket which is attached to the caliper support mounting bolts at each end and centrally to the caliper assembly. this bracket must be removed in order to withdraw the caliper and gain access to the brake pads.

booster? i can't remember what the KE 20's look like... what MC do you have now? single circuit? dual circuit? make? is the firewall flat around the MC, or is there ribbing (ie sheet metal sticking out either side of the MC, about 1-2")

if you have firewall ribbing then you can adapt a KE30 or later type MC using a spacer and a longer pushrod.

on the KE10's at least, you can use mitsubishi Galant MC's, which are dual circuit. the early ones (i think GA,GB) are same bore as KE10 (maybe 11/16), and the later ones (GC/GD) have larger bore (3/4 iirc). they are almost bolt in, just needing some hole enlarging in the firewall, but not too much.

the other option is to fit a remote booster, like a VH40 or VH44. this simplifies things a bit if you have a single brake circuit, but i'm unsure how you do it in a dual circuit (maybe rear brakes are unboosted?

if possible, borrow a digi camera and get a pic of the calipers and the brake MC Smile

Cya, Stewart
