Finned callipers onto VN s1 V6...?

[slo_firo]

Only 2/3 of the pad will be on the rotor, when they wear down the pads touch = danger = death! You need to buy new rotors to match the calipers
(someone replaced the stock rotors on my ute with the smaller ones - I found out by changing the pads they had a huge lip on them)

With the paint you dont even need high temp - ive painted hundreds of sets with normal enamel and its all good

and i was told its hq pads that can be modded to fit?

The caliper will sit further out on the rotor so the outer part of the pad (it is only about 5mm, not 1/3 of the pad) will not contact the rotor. You will need the larger rotors for the finned calipers to work correctly.

Righto, cheers!

290mm rotors, easy swap? Will it ruin pedal feel if I don't change the booster/master cyl?

they will be fine. VP onwards use them fine with a 15/16 booster.

Thanks stocky.
1 WTB, coming right up!

I paint heaps of them at work every week, every time I do a wheel swap the car gets black hubs and silver callipers.. good to know I'm not totally shafting people

Didn't VN series 2 get them as well?
