MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Nissan Z front hubs on MGB uprights?

Hey
I know that the early Z Nissans had the same bolt pattern as MGB's, has anyone tried to fit the hubs to the MGB uprights? This would allow a Nissan vented rotor to be bolted on while retaining the MGB wheels. I am trying to figure out the best way to attach Nissan 300zx rotors and am modifying a set of Volvo 4 pots to fit the MGB upright. Any info on this would be helpful, thanks.

I doubt it, the local guys who sell the Volvo/nissan brake upgrade kit for MG's machine up a spacer/adaptor. They wouldn't have gone to that trouble if the nissan hubs fit.

This might help, might not? Vitoria British sells Cross Drilled Rotors for the MGB, 119.95. There number is 1-800-255-0088.

I am at the point where I need to machine up that adapter for the 300zx rotors, I just thought i would ask if anyone knew. Do you know if the Volvo 4 pot calipers fit behind 14" rims?
Jake

Yes,
They fit under minilites and wires but not Rostyles (by about 2mm). If you have rostyles you might try spacers but that's not legal here, though lots of people use them.

How about 11 3/4 big brake kit with 4 ot calipers for B direct bolt on!
Or 4 pot calipers direct bolt using stock cross drille rotors.
e-mail me.
