Top man Simon I managed to sqeeze these under 16" wheels. It was said it could not be done without 10mm spacers. But we managed it. 
The whole build process is here. Lots of footage though so may bore some who are not interested in doing this upgrade.

t without stripping the parts down Ignorance is bliss or pure laziness.
Did they come off a Ford or another TVR as I see the brackets.
Are you changing the colour?
I think they look great black.
When I got mine off “old phone bloke” they looked almost brand new with new seals nipples and rubber caps etc. I was very impressed.
I think I paid about £225 + postage which came to about 250 which considering they had been overhauled seemed a bargain at the time.
They’ve been faultless ever since.

One of my better purchases.
Well that and a brand new dif, MBE and engine rebuild, clutch, chassis resto, and many others but the brakes were a bargain I’ll never regret.
Another thing I thought was far to expensive until I fitted it was ACT air induction kit which I quickly came to realise was a quality piece of kit and tidied up the air flow from the filter through the bodywork and that part of it alone was well worth the investment.
The extra induction raw that came from that was a bonus I never expected but truly welcomed and some proof it was indeed a great buy.

What was the diff?
Mine is fine but whines slightly at 70mph-ish when throttle is still, which I was told (by Readman Racing who refurbed it) was simply a bit of wear but not problematic.
Even though, it’s got an earmark on it for future work.
