I just found this in my album today. It's for interest ONLY. ie don't rush out and buy this stuff !

I have no idea if this actually works out or if anybody has looked closer at it.

The solid rotor is from an early Toyota, caliper is four spot Volvo. I supect the caliper may foul somewhere. The picture is with a 13" Mag wheel though.

If i recall correctly, the Corona rotor fits over a GT hub. The holes though didn't line up i think.

The Corona had the same PCD as the Bellett, so may fit.
My first "67 GT had Corona rotors, with calipers from a Rover or Jaguar ( I can't racall which ). The booster was of unknown origin. They were on it when I got it so I don't know how much work was involved.

the pcd of the wheel studs is the same but the hub to discs mounting holes are different spaced.
your old GT may have had original calipers but jag pads as they are 99% the same.

Hi Brett,
Looking at the brakes on my current one, they were nothing alike. The pads in the one I have now are a DB52 ? which is at least half the size of the pads on my old car.
But a mute point now anyway.
