4 stud? late vectra b gsi, saab 93 with a redrill and some rings, nothing newer no mk4 astra/zafira etc onwards as the caliper bracket spacing is wrong

Tbh they are fairly rare on the ground and people know the value.

A man of your skills should fit some 4/6pots i know of a suitable disk for 336mm that ive used for the porsche ones.

Had bit of a shit day with it today. Couldn't solve the fuel leak no matter Wat I did. So in end stripped it all off and cut another 20mm of manifold. Put it all back together again now the fuel pipes fit the standard rail as they should with no leaks.
So tomorrow tune the dam thing.
Gaz did you say u had a v6 throttle cable.
