Z32 26mm Caliper Spacer (30mm conv.) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Not sure if anybody has tried this, but figured I would. Had a set of 26mm calipers sitting around, so decided to make a spacer to convert these to 30 mm. With 30mm oem hardware/o rings, I don't see why this wouldn't work. Tweaked my model a few times and printed out some prototypes. Fitment is great, so I'm gonna machine a batch of these out.

So my question is, has anybody else here tried this yet or are there any obvious reasons I'm missing as to why this wouldn't work?

Will post pics after work.

I'm interested if you are selling them. What is the material and how will you machine them?

You will notice that some of remanufactured calipers (autozone, etc) are 26mm with 4mm spacers.
