Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...

I know you are using the Honda S2000 rotors on the D-44, but what calipers and what mounting plates are you going to use? Also,how many bolts do the retainers use?

I will make my own brackets to adapt the S2000 calipers. The theme here is to use as many mechanical parts from one donor as possible. That way future maintenance will be simplified and the huge selection of aftermarket upgrades are a simple bolt-on affair. I'll have to check the retainer bolt count.
