Evening , I've not got the calipers through yet , but I've just had a quick offer up of the nova discs    ......  and I've got about 2  1/2" inch clearance all round ....  will this be enough ?   ( she sits on revolution wheels and 275/50R15 tyres ) .

Evening , cant check till I get the hubs and discs back , I'm using nova discs  and golf calipers ( was told they were off of a 1.8 gti ). Do you think I should invest in some longer studs ? .

Hiya,
a very quick check of my trike's arse end says the caliper stands about 2 inches up from the edge of the disc. I'm running 15 inch alloys. I used 1 1/4 inch spacers from SpeedShack, (their details are in the Links for Commercial Purposes bit of the forum), to space the wheel away from the disc & caliper to give some extra clearance. The spacers come with stud extensions. Check the thread on my trike frame in General Discussion for photos & descriptions of everything on my trike so far.

Downloading and printing it off is the easiest way , what sort of problem do you have with the download ? ..
