R31 brakes Vannett rotor stanza strut

Subject: R31 brakes Vannett rotor stanza strut

Have used a stanza strut with r31 shock with the strut tube cut down to length.

To use the r31 insert I had to drill out the strut top to take the bigger shaft size and then Mig and file the flat that locates the shaft and stops the nut undoing the bearing also needed to be slightly modified to fit the shaft.

To use the r31 calliper I used the stanza hub with the large vannett vented rotor (bolt on) had strut mounting lugs machined flat on back and the holes offset drilled closer to stub axel taking out the thread as skyline callipers are threaded. Then had approx 8mm machined of the callipers mounting lugs to get the offset correct this would depend on how much need to be taken of the mounting lugs on the strut to get them flat. With a little relieving of the cooling fins on the calliper they fit inside 13inch hotwires.

To run 15s with ease I have also decided to move the spring platform up by 30mm this enabled a variety of different wheel offsets to be used including TRX rims with 205/50 tyres
