New Brakes fitted.
Nice install Adam.
Please keep us updated about how they work. I have the exact same kit (TSR)
at home to install on my '83 eventually, and was wondering about how good it
works.
Cheers

It uses the standard Rocco Calipers on extension plates to bring them out
46mm.
The actual pad surface area is the same as standard, however the swept area
is larger and the braking force is larger due to the pads being spaced out
further from the centre of rotation. Also the larger disc acts as a bigger
heatsink.
According to TSR Performance, they'll give 100% better stopping power once
they are bedded in.
