cheers for the replies, found some standard discs quite cheap through work so go them now. Can i put S14 calipers with the s12 discs? (If i get the right caliper mount?)

Anyone know if I can use S14 calipers? Looks like the disc is plenty big enough, just not sure if the caliper would bolt on or would i need a different caliper mount?

steve I did it on an old S12 I had about 3/4 years ago. You need some custom lines made up and as the S12 discs are thinner, you will need to make up some spacers for the backs of the pads

thought that might be the case. So the S14 calipers bolt straight on to the s12 setup?

Thanks for the info!

Could i just not let the pads run down too much so the pistons don't pop out?

Going to make some spacers. Am i right in thinking that the standard S12 discs are 22mm thick and S14's are 30mm?
