Wilwood calipers to suit Cortina upright.

Hi guys.

I have the standard M16 calipers on my Cortina uprights at the moment and would like to fit a set of Wilwood four pots. Frtom what I have read the part number for a direct replacement is 120-8726 but when I look up the specs it looks like the mounting holes are a different width apart. The standard units are around 82mm (quick measurement). Do I need to get a set of adaptors as well?

Yup adapters required.

The other option is to use a set of HiSpec four pots which apparently bolt straight on without adaptors: http://www.hispecbrake.co.uk/Ultralite%204%20M16%20Lug.html
Anyone had any experience with these?

Good price too (£95+ vat each).
What size disc though?
