New shoes

Post by FoxyRoadster »

Well I ordered a set of these:

I was told they was Work Equip 01's in 13 inches, I dont think they are real ones.. I'll check it when I get them. I plan to modify my front brakes to allow 13" if they wont fit.

My trip to Solvang for the year was canceled due to having to build a new shop with my father, I ordered all kinds of goodies for my roadster though in place of my trip.

If those are 13 inch wheels they won't work. They won't clear the brake calipers.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

You can modify them to fit, I think you have to shave like 5/16th or something off the rotor, and adjust the caliper. Not sure exact I know a few of the racing guys run the 13"s

Got them in, they are real Works Equip 01.


I'll be sizing them up seeing what I'll have to do to fit them...
