JZR Uprights

I am currently rebuilding a JZR 3 wheeler, fitted with Ford Cortina uprights. It is currently fitted as with standard discs and calipers (mark 3/4 I think). I want to uprate the system with larger vented discs and lightened calipers (wilwood, A/P). Do any of you know of the best configuration to use, Mondeo/Capri?
Its fitted with MG wire wheels (of all things) which do not foul the brake assembly. Thanks

It's not a helpfull reply, but I was wondering how the wire wheels are connected to the Cortina stub axle.
Is it a special hub or a bolt on adapter?
I would like to fit wires to my locost.
Anyone got any links to possible suppliers?
Thanks.

Hi there is an Mg hub spline assembly which carries the wires, will take some pics of the assembly and post them tomorrow if that helps.

The first thing to do is to uprate the pads to something link M1144 mintex or green stuff. Why do yo need to uprate the brakes? Are you getting fad at all?
