Really?
I know the rotors are available new... But as for the calipers I wasn't sure about... And the spindles I assumed were a specially made number? So std spindles can be modified to run an TE50 caliper (same as EL GT / FBT)? If it is that easy it suddenly seems to be an afforable kit you can buy in pieces as you can afford them? Surely not though... ?

Don't quote me, but I thought the spindles were just cast without ears, I could be very wrong about that tho. Been a long time since I have seen the gear in the flesh (other than rotors lol). If we knew who made the calipers, they might still be available NOS, but would probably be pricy.
Cheers ToranaGuy

yea the e series caliper ears are choped off and an adaptor/offset plateis made up for the caliper to mount up to the e series upright, the el gt upright is actually different to std e series..thats why the aftermarket kits make the plate up so the caliper is out further to clear the 330mm rotor..

So Troy, The EL GT has the holes cast out further to eliminate this "spacer" the after market ones use?
I thought they must have been different... So many people talk about them as though they're a unique item... Cheers, Tim

Thanks for adding that Troyman, I didn't realize the bolt holes were actually in a different spot.
I wish I didn't have so many things on the go atm, I have a wicked little idea in my head atm, and I know where I can get some bits for free to play with too...... Cheers ToranaGuy

I thought the spindles were just modified like the kits that get the "ears" lopped off? As for calipers, who made them, pbr? Cheers ToranaGUy calipers are pbr on my kit with slip on rotors well worth the outlay if i didn't buy the upgrade i would be walking now as only a week after fitment i had a tray back stopped in the middle of the road on a blind bend doing 100km/h i stopped in no time at all and he went home to change his pants
