Got my backing plates for the Honda disc conversion. Real good job - laser cut by the looks. 5/16" plate steel More than happy with the price Won't say who or how much - he's on this board so if he wants to advertise the fact he can :wink:

Ideally I'd like to run 10" - keeping it looking MKI as much as poss Depends if I can find an engineer to agree to turning the discs down

hmmm...I thought the plates are different from 10's to 12's. The caliper sits further out from the centre of the hub when mounting Honda discs at full outer diameter (9 inch). :?

I'VE GOT THE WRONG CALIPERS :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

They're too bleeding big the mounting holes are too wide - back to square one - at least I have the backing plates :cry: :cry: :cry:
