Yep, the calipers are the same as a Princess, although I'm not sure if the US
had this hideous creation thrust upon them. This caliper can be used with
standard GT6/Vitesse disks without the need for a spacer. As these cars had
dual circuit brakes, you need to make a small brake pipe to connect to of the
3(I think) bleed nipples together, other than that it's a straight swap.
Just visit your local tat yard for a dead Princess.......NO not the one in the
back of a Merc!!! Or for our older members, the one in a Rover P6 at the bottom
of a cliff!!!! :-)
Cheerio
