Anybody used the st170 300mm front discs for a rear conversion on the Escos? I'm gonna have a play around next week, ordered some discs. Just wondered if anybody had already done it to save me making some templates for brackets

6mm min thick plenty enough for the job I don't get what you mean there load of room I made mine with a backing plate on ?

I mean the tab part of the backing plate, in front of were the abs sensor mounts, the gap between that tab and the rear of the hub, there is defo no room on mine to fit a 6mm plate in between them, I'm gonna have to trim that tab off and sit the bracket just above the abs sensor.
