Been over to a fellow TR7 rally car enthusiast's place this afternoon. Martin Knapp is building a 16 valve TR7 rally car too but mainly for the forests.
He kindly let me test out one of my 13" wheels on his brake assembly to see if it would clear and thankfully it does, so I'll be following Martin's route. This involves making up a kit from BMW 327 discs and Volvo 240 calipers - sounds a bit of a strange thing to do but the BMW discs are massive and ventilated making the standard TR7 discs look puny. They are also very similar in size to the works car's set up.
Then the Volvo calipers are big 4 pot ones too as opposed to standard small 2 pot ones. There'll be some machining to do but Martin has promised to talk me through it - top man!
