I have a pair AP 4 pot callipers I believe these were originally fitted to Austin Princess plus other models and were a favourite for fitting to early Ford Escort's to improve braking as they bolted straight on.
Has anyone fitted these to a 2 seater Elan ?

If you find they are not suitable for the lotus, I would be interested in them for my MK1 escort.
Thanks

I looked at them and from what I recall it was a popular mod with the Triumph guys. I'm a bit hazy on detail now but I think they fitted on the standard Herald/Spitfire/Elan mounts but were too small for GT6 and presumably +2 mounts.
I looked through my links from the time and re-discovered this one

which isn't directly applicable to your question but does go into some detail about the calipers, history and options for changing the system.
