325mm brake conversion front backing plates

Post by Robster68 » Thu Nov 24, 2022 8:34 pm

Looking to replace shot 3.0l front backing plates with new 3.0si 325mm version for future brake upgrade,I’m assuming this still works a with 300mm set up until time come to replace.I’m using standard 108 18” rims.

Be careful there, to change the plates the hub has to be removed which could mean new bearings! Quite costly as i found out recently. :roll:
