Anyone got the distance between the 2 caliper mounting holes to hand?

Cheers mate.

Not the number I was hoping for, but with a bit of modification I reckon I've found myself some new calipers :)

Well I've got hold of some Volvo 440 calipers, which are a fair bit bigger than I expected. But the hole spacing is too big. So down to an engineering shop with them and hopefully the proper spaced holes can be put in and they'll bolt on :)

They are indeed. Not ideal, but they were cheap :)

Already got 3 sets of pads hanging about from previous uber cheap dealings, along with some 440 vented discs (which probably wont fit) :)
