    Brakes HELP for 13x6 wheels

    Hi folks,

    So im building a fast road mk1 escort. Running 13x6 wheels.

    I had originally planned using some AP Monte Carlos for up front, but they lack dust boots/seals, and therefore id presume them to be illegal here in Australia.

    What are the other good/best options to use? Im not super restricted on budget so Ap, brembo and Alcon are very viable options.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Graham,

    So i am currently working with a VASS signatory (an engineer with the ability to sign off on more major modifications here in Australia) as i plan to restore my mk1 escort into a streetable track car.

    Unfortunately after reviewong the work i want to do he tells me that dust boots/seals on calipers are a must on victorian roads. Unless a solid arguement can be made for Monte Carlos.
