Hello braking system gurus, I have a VN s1 V6 with:
stock rear brakes
drilled and slotted front rotors (stock size - 270mm)
stock front callipers
I also have a set of VS BT1 V6 finned callipers. How do I know if they will fit? They came with brake pads, if those are the same size as my pads is it all fun times and laughter?? Or are there other pitfalls I need to look out for?
Also, quick question, I've cleaned up the callipers with acid etc, they are clean enough I think.. I'm going to paint them silver. I have some silver pressure pack Engine Enamel in the shed. I assume this will work, however I wonder can I then clear coat over the top? Does it need to be high-temp clear or just normal? (I don't know how much the callipers heat up.. but given the cooling fins I'd say a fair bit!)
Thanks
Sam
