You'd have to change the hubs to fit these, wouldn't you?

I've got the same set up on mine and they work very well indeed.

I had a problem last year with a seized piston so ordered 2 new calipers from brake parts on line. When they arrived, they did not fit as when they are on they are offset either in or out (I can't remember which) and the disc did not sit central in the caliper. They need about 3 or 4mm machining off of the mounting face of the caliper where it sits up against the hub.

I ended up having the old calipers re built by bigg red, and they have been excellent since refitting. A little bit too easy to lock up though until you get used to them.
