> I have completed (mostly) the conversion of my Bugeye to the big brakes
> (front) using Spitfire Rotors and MGB Calipers. This is a very good
> improvement! You get larger rotors (9"), larger brake pads, and bigger

> Spacer to move the steering arm away. (depending on the car and it requires
> realignment) This spacer is NOT in the kit.
>
> Grind some off the spitfire rotors and/or the calipers
> Grind some off the upper shock arm and/or the rotor inner edge at the outer
> rim
> Remove the brake backing plate

> I also did the Timken roller bearing mod to the 7/16th lug hubs that Glen was
> so nice to donate to the project. (I have the Timken part #'s that may be
> gotten in any good bearing shop BTW).

> Pictures of this mod and a few AutoCross pics may be seen at:>
