The complete shopping list for this conversion is:

- These brackets!
- E32 750/740 or E34 540 front calipers. There are two sizes, you need the ones with '60/28/32' stamped on it.
- Pads for any of the above cars.
- Audi TT 312mm front discs, with holes drilled to fit the E30 4-stud hubs and 1mm machined out of the centre bore.
- Brake fluid to bleed the brakes after swapping calipers
- Wheels big enough to fit over these brakes! Most 17" wheels seem to be ok and some but certainly not all 16" wheels.
- Not essential but a bigger bore master cylinder is a good idea, popular choice is the E32 750/740 cylinder.

It's quite a crude and rather heavy set up but cheap and effective! :)

i would be interested in some of these, would agree that stainless steel would be better than alloy, is there not a disc that would fit?, maybe obtain a brake disc manufactures catalouge for dimensions ie ferodo?....
good luck with them.
