what year tx3 rotors are best?

Hey guys, what year/model tx3 front rotors are best with the m16 spacer kit? This is a straight bolt on conversion isn't it?
 
CheersBrad
 not sure it matters but she's a mk1 with a mk2 2.0lt front end.

    The TX3 rotor is 13mm larger in diameter than a Capri/Escort rotor, so will the caliper getting over it?

    There are a few threads on here that cover this conversion, my understanding is that they are 260mm one member had them turned down to 257mm same as standard m16 but in the end thought it probably wasn't needed. The other thing is the hole in the middle I think it needs to be 55mm, not sure about the tx3 ones MAYBE I can get new ones the same spec as Capri 2.8i hopefully

    2.8i are 247x 18 i think.... so long since i bought a set.
    You can fit the volvo 4pot calipers quite easily tho I'm not sure about m16 . My Anglia will have Wilwood NDL 4pots
