400 se front brakes

Ah - that explains it. Mine took me no hours to fit and fitted perfectly......being a lazy sod I got Tower View to do it for me! Depending which route he went the standard calipers need spacers which, if he didn't have may have been the problem. The brake pipe (Aeroquip (sp?)) need to be moved a bit too to avoid problems on max lock.
The only problem I have found with the second upgrade that I have now (massive Billet calipers and new disks etc) is that the space saver doesn't fit !

For some reason the kit didn't fit and there was a flaming sent to the list which not only is against da rules but was unfair it appeared before he had spoken to Tower View.
As with many things TVR, you can't absolutely guarentee anything with these cars. I've seen cars that have been built no more than a few weeks apart with completely different engine bay layouts! There have been at least 7 different brake master cylinders fitted so that means you have a 1 in 7 chance of getting the wrong one unless you can supply some additional info. And it still doesn't meant there isn't an 8th out there somewhere.
If a part doesn't fit or needs serious mods to fit then something ain't right. Us old hands normally sya "TVRs don't you just love 'em" and work with the supplier to get things sorted out.
BTW fitted my upgrade on the 520 on Saturday. Took a couple of hours ish with no problems.

Got the biggest ones they do. Still waiting for the engine to come back so have not tried them yet.
