MG MGB Technical - SD1 Callipers

I've asked here before about this but now due to issues with the current brakes the SD1 upgrade is the way I'm looking to go.

So a couple of questions about using SD1 callipers...
Will SD1 4 pots fit under 14" Minilites?
Which discs and callipers need to be used if vented discs are used?

Thanks
K Goldup

Not sure about SD1, but I have used Princess 4 pots on my GT race car with the Peugeot vented discs. A popular conversion, but you have to redrill, and be accurate!!

I am using a Minilite type 14in wheel, and no clearance problems.

Hi K Goldup, I am considering this also. My first investigation was the Princess set up, as it had been tried and tested so to speak. Are the SDI 4 pots? The other thought was go for the really Posh Willwood? I think? But very expensive. Tell us how you get on. Mike

Mike,
Sorry to have come late to this but have you thought about drilled and slotted discs - they do make a difference.
