i just happen to have a set sitting on my bench, let me go measure and i'll post the results in a moment.
it would add almost 3/4 inch

Just another throwout, is there a rotor closer to 12" diam that be useable for this app. Almost have to have 17'wheels for a 13'. I wouldent mind somthing for 16"'s. Prolly not enough demand, to develop.
Heck, I'm happy reducing the unsprung weight , as I use <480 Progressives.
bnickle, didja, ever check the answer to "what was that about anyway, i don't even remember"?? Heh heh, no worries
A 12" rotor would make the lower caliper bolt tough. That hole lines up with the Granda spindle lower caliper hole. If you move the caliper out 1/2", it would not line up.
Ok, so I'm a little confused now... Seems like Degins is working on a bracket to let the PBR caliper bolt up to the Granada spindle for use with the Granada rotor. I think I'm clear on that.
It also seems that others are trying to use a larger rotor and wondering how much work it would involve. Is that right? And you're looking for a 13" rotor to fit the granada spindle and use a PBR or Cobra caliper??
I have not seen a finished product. The issue of moving the caliper so far outboard of the mounting point was a concern. I don't think the project went ahead. I would not run one like that. The cliper needs to stay close to the spindle IMO. The rotor should be moved to the caliper, not the caliper moved to the rotor.
I concur. I suspect that if I pursue the use of the cobra caliper, it will be more likely that I employ it on the drop spindle. Below, I have posted a pic of the modified bracket alongside the original.... personally, i would rather just use the stock size rotor and the pbr caliper with the bracket that Degins is making

i don't know, i still like the idea of the V6/GT 2 piston PBR even on the drop spindle, there are plenty of other cobra disc conversions on the market
I didn't mean to imply that the 2 piston PBR is out for the that application.
