Slow progress on this little project. (I'm in Perth and car is in Brisbane  )
I'd appreciate input on the option that I'm considering at the moment. I couldn't find a disc that would be a direct bolt-on for the stanza strut that would fit under 14's so i've come to a new solution that may be just as good. A mazda BT-50 2wd has disc's that are 255.5mm diameter and does not have a "hat" I.E. they're are only as high as the thickness of the disc (24mm). So i'm thinking of using them and fabricating a custom rotor hat to attach behind the hub, same as the standard solid disc. Is this the right way to go, or am I reinventing the wheel for no reason?
Caliper options are the factory BT-50 single pistons, but for pad options i'm leaning towards the late model Subaru stuff that also suit 24mm but twin piston.
The aim is to get vented discs, no track increase, fit under 14's and have parts availability in years to come... without breaking the bank of course.
As always, thanks for any feedback
Jimbo
