Re: Brakes on '85 SPG (long) Saab techs and other experts? Posted by Justin VanAbrahams [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Brakes on '85 SPG (long) Saab techs and other experts?, DS, Wed, 18 Jul 2001 16:17:42 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I am going to guess that he's right - you can mount the earlier hub on the later spindle. I seriously doubt they re-engineered a steering member. But, I don't think an '88+ caliper will "mate" properly with an -'87 rotor - they are of different thicknesses and different diameters. I would suspect you'd run into problems. And, not really important, you'd lose your handbrake.
So, were it me, I wouldn't do it. Custom engineering brakes should not be taken lightly, and for the ease involved in throwing on '87 vented rotors why bother? They aren't *that* bad! :)

Lots of vented rotor swaps
