Rear Disc brakes - help !

Hello, I am after some help with sourcing some brake parts. I dont have a RRS, I want these parts to convert some axles to disc brakes. I need a brake disc which is 350mm diameter and some calipers, calipers brackets and pads to go with them and the RRS rears look like they would do the trick. Only trouble is I dont have a chassis number to quote to anyone and there seems to be a lot of different parts to choose from

Can anyone help me out with finding the right parts. I would like to buy 350mm rear discs, rear calipers, caliper bracket, pads and pad fitting kit if required. If you could point me to the best place to buy them online, then that would be even better.

Thanks for your help, if you need any more info, just let me know

I am hoping that they will be OK, it is a peculiar application with a dual circuit brake system. I am going to run two calipers per wheel on the front and 1 per wheel on the back - its 6x6, so it will have 8 calipers in total, hope it should be OK. At worst, I can always swap the fronts out for twin pot front calipers, but then I will have to change the master cylinders also.

Hello, its been a long time, but I now have some of the parts and it looks like it might work. I can mount the caliper and disc OK, but I dont have a caliper here yet and I am wondering if someone could check a measurement for me.

I am after the measurement from the outside edge of the brake disc to the highest part of the caliper. You can stick a tape measure in the hole in the middle of the caliper and get this measurement pretty easy. Doesnt need to be amazingly accurate, just a rough measure up so that I can see if I have clearance for my wheel

Thanks very much
