Is that a bracket to space the caliper out to 330mm?
Its a VT 296 calipher what ever the stock vt disk is
A straight forward normal VT caliper bolts straight upto a VC stub axle, without adaptors...
That one didn't ? Close but not quite. Ole mate said hes seen that happen a few times why I posted the picture in the first place.

Can you post up a side picture?
Or one with the disc on?

Is this VT caliper on a 298 disc?
no I cant as its all together now it may come apart again from the 2 minute drive I had of the car yesterday the conversion was a waste of time I don;t think it stops any better than before we started the car has only been driven a little bit so I shouldn't really say that but I wasn't impressed with its stopping distance yesterday, I should notice it as my daily has drums on the back.

VT use a fast fill MC that's at 1 1/4" IIRC.
