I am rebuilding my BN4 and converting to front disk brakes. After extensive research I've acquired the correct British-Mercury Capri calipers (from ebay.co.uk) and rebuilt them. The hole spacing fits perfectly with my 3000 caliper mounting plates so that part looks great. The pads are also the large late-3000 size and fit the BJ8 disks. I am having some problems figuring out the correct brake flares however. My brand new set of Moss brakelines has a different set of flares than the caliper uses. My new Moss pipes seem to have a double flare which matches my original pipes. My new caliper seems to have a girling bubble flare. Is that right because it's the exact opposite that I would have expected? Can I buy a set of 12" pipes with a girling bubble on one end and a double-flare on the other? Is there any other way of converting? I can't find any source based on my searches.
The stub pipe on the left came in the caliper. I think that might be a girling bubble flare. The pipe on the right is the new Moss pipe.
If you are curious here's my video on the brake conversion: https://youtu.be/oZS-fciLyUk I'm happy to provide other photos or answer any questions!
Thanks!
